"Through their deeds, the dead of battle have spoken more eloquently for themselves than any of the living ever could. But we can only honor them by rededicating ourselves to the cause for which they gave a last full measure of devotion." ~ Abraham Lincoln
This is the front lawn of Southern Regional High School, Rt 9 in Manahawkin
Southern Regional High School and Middle School students honor the fallen from the Iraq and Afghanistan wars with its annual ”Field Of Flags” for Memorial Day weekend.
Students and staff placed a 12” by 18” flag in front of the high school for each of the 6,847 veterans lost in the two conflicts.
I passed by the school early this morning. It is a very moving sight to see.
Wishing everyone a safe Memorial Day Weekend!
May each of us offer a prayer of thanks for those who gave their lives in service to our country.
