I Have Never Been Able To Think Of The Day As One Of Mourning; I Have Never Quite Been Able To Feel That Half-masted Flags Were Appropriate On Decoration Day. I Have Rather Felt That The Flag Should Be At The Peak, Because Those Whose Dying We Commemorate Rejoiced In Seeing It Where Their Valor Placed It. We Honor Them In A Joyous, Thankful, Triumphant Commemoration Of What They Did.
