My friend keeps saying "cheer up man it could be worse, you could be stuck underground in a hole full of water." I know he means well.

The bartender asks if he is the mop that was just in here. The mop replies, “No, I’m a frayed knot.”"The problem with quotes on the Internet is that it is sometimes hard to verify their authenticity." -Abraham LincolnComment

As some of you my know, I served in the Marine Corps from 1970 to 1990. One of my contemporaries and squadron mates left the Marines in 1975 to attend law school. Since attaining his law degree, he has served with distinction in numerous private sector and government jobs. His legal specialty is water law. For the last year he has served as the Director of the Burea of Land Management (BLM). This is his Memorial Day celebration letter to BLM employees:
Dear Colleague -
Today we prepare to enjoy the upcoming weekend and to observe Memorial Day on Monday under circumstances unlike any our country has seen for a little more than a century. It was, after all, in 1918, as our Nation's sons and daughters fought in World War I in Europe, that the Spanish flu spread around the world. When it ended in the summer of 1919, 675,000 Americans, out of a population of 103 million, had died. Today we face challenging days, but not unlike what Americans in 1918 endured. Nonetheless, despite all that and in the midst of the "war to end all wars," they recognized Memorial Day. So too must we remember.
On May 5, 1868, General John A. Logan called for a nationwide day of remembrance, known as Decoration Day, on May 30, "for the purpose of strewing with flowers, or otherwise decorating the graves of comrades who died in defense of their country[], and whose bodies now lie in almost every city, village and hamlet churchyard in the land[.]” It soon became known as Memorial Day, in 1918 was viewed as honoring American military personnel who died in all wars, and in 1971 became a federal holiday on the last Monday of May.
As a Marine Corps veteran, father of an active-duty Marine, and leader of an agency that boast that 20 percent of its employees have worn the uniform of the United States of America, I am reminded of the words of Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., who like every other able body boy or man throughout our history sped to the front at the outbreak of war. His senior year of college he enlisted and then was commissioned a first lieutenant and saw action in the Peninsula Campaign, the Battle of Fredericksburg, and the Wilderness, and suffered wounds in the Battle of Ball's Bluff, Antietam, and Chancellorsville.
Decades later, on Memorial Day, he observed, “as surely as this day comes round we are in the presence of the dead. For one hour, twice a year at least--at the regimental dinner, where the ghosts sit at table more numerous than the living, and on this day when we decorate their graves--the dead come back and live with us. I see them now, more than I can number, as once I saw them on this earth. They are the same bright figures, or their counterparts, that come also before your eyes; and when I speak of those who were my brothers, the same words describe yours.” Noting that Memorial Day comes at the end of spring, Holmes continued, “Our dead brothers still live for us, and bid us think of life, not death--of life to which in their youth they lent the passion and joy of the spring. As I listen, the great chorus of life and joy begins again, and amid the awful orchestra of seen and unseen powers and destinies of good and evil our trumpets sound once more a note of daring, hope, and will.”
I pray you are able to spend time with your families this weekend and that, with all Americans, you will pause to bring to mind those who gave their "last full measure of devotion," as President Abraham Lincoln said at Gettysburg, to ensure "that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth."
Thank you again for all your hard work to serve the American people.
Best, Perry
