Honoring Our Fallen
Remembering Heroes: Honoring Sacrifice, Preserving Legacy
In reflecting on the profound wisdom encapsulated by these two quotes, we are reminded of the lasting impact our heroes leave behind. As the saying goes, "They say you die twice. One time when you stop breathing and a second time, a bit later on, when somebody says your name for the last time" (Bansky). This highlights the enduring legacy of those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. Additionally, the sentiment that "To be killed in war is not the worst that can happen. To be lost is not the worst. To be forgotten is the worst," (Claevssens) underscores the importance of remembrance. It's through honoring our heroes that we ensure their bravery and selflessness are never overlooked. By keeping their memories alive, we pay tribute to their courage and ensure they are never forgotten.
