We come, not to mourn our dead soldiers, but to praise them. ~ Francis A. Walker “Our Dead Soldiers,” a prose piece by Francis A. Walker, is the source of this quote. It was published in 1911 in the book Memorial Day by Robert Haven Schauffler. The quote means that Memorial Day is not necessarily about grieving for the fallen, but about celebrating their lives and their heroic deeds. Good morning everyone. If you have a family member or loved one who died in military service to this country, we are sorry for your loss and thank you for your sacrifice too. Throughout this Memorial Day, well be sharing some of the most-read posts from the Understanding Combat PTSD blog and Trauma: A PTSD Blog. Feel free to share your thoughts by commenting.
