"First thought that came to mind on reading the casualty list was – ... – I’ll never see those faces again! – those seats will be empty at the games! The stern reality of the situation is shocking, and we must remember those names in something more than a bronze plaque in the foyer. Those names must represent an ideal, to be held forward to the future, as something substantial.
I’ll leave it at that – my words are to inadequate for my emotions."

Letter from Jake Coonin, 1944
Wishing you a Meaningful Memorial Day
