"A nation reveals itself not only by the men it produces but also by the men it honors, and the men it remembers."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As I gaze upon this quilt today, the image of death is altered.
I see instead the symbol of life, for heroes who never faltered.
Fear not my great soldier
For your story shall be passed down throughout the years
Because the fabric of your life is sewn into the Quilt Of Tears.
Although tears are shed & hearts are broken with each & every entry on this honor roll we believe that to forget the ultimate sacrifices endured by the heroes that fell victim to the legacy of Agent Orange would be the biggest tragedy & injustice of all. May we never forget....
