Remember
the wars, One and Two, and all the wars
which
came before and after. Remember our ancestors,
our
brothers and sisters who were wounded and gave
their
lives. Remember the freedoms taken away or
never
gained. Remember the liberties fought for and
maintained.
Remember the day you looked across the
Great
Divide, and shook your head in shame, telling
yourself
and the world—we are better than this; let
us
one day unite. Remember the hopeful listeners and
the
deaf ears of resisters who refused to hear. Remember
the
histories of our victories and defeats. Remember the
righteous
and outspoken teachers who have given hope
to
those who have known the curse of captivity, who
long
for the fruits and sweet taste of liberty. Let us re-
cognize
the warrior teachers, who armed with truth,
have
dedicated their lives to spreading the beacon of
peace
and harmony to a people yearning to be, and those
committed
to remain free. Lest we forget, let us give praise
and
remember.
