The preservation of memories is the preservation of history. We erect statues, build museums, and consecrate the gardens of stone where our veterans lie in eternal rest. We learn from the successes and failures of our predecessors. We honor the hard work and sacrifices of our ancestors by carrying on their legacy and improving on their successes. We preserve the memories of our former members and forefathers by writing their stories or naming a structure or event in their honor. On Veterans day we honor those still with us and honor on Memorial Day those who have passed.
