It's the Soldier who has given us the freedom of the press... It's the Soldier, who has given us the freedom of speech...

We come through you and must not forget you. You lived - felt the sun and the wind and had life and we are of you, as our children and our children's children will be of us.

Peaceful be thy silent slumber,
Peaceful in thy grave so low;
Thou no more wilt join our number,
Thou no more our sorrows know.
Yet again we hope to meet thee,
When the day of life has fled;
And in Heaven with joy to greet thee
Where no farewell tears are shed.

Dear Ancestor
Your tombstone stands among the rest, neglected and alone.
The name and dates have worn off the weathered marble stone.
It reaches out to all who care.
It's now too late to mourn.
You did not know that I'd exist, you died and I was born.
Yet each of us are cells of you, in flesh, in blood, in bone.
Our hearts contract and beat a pulse entirely not our own.
Dear ancestor, the place you filled some hundred years ago spreads out among the ones you left who would have loved you so.
I wonder how you lived and loved, I wonder if you knew that someday I would find this place and come and visit you.
