“And you will tell your children of the Idea we fought and died for—teach them it must be lived for as well as died for, else the price paid for it will have been given for naught. This will be part of your work, Rilla. And if you—all you girls back in the homeland—do it, then we who don’t come back will know that you have not ‘broken faith’ with us.”
I am a avid fan of this blog, but this entry is especially poignant and beautiful. What a timely quote for Remembrance Day or Veterans Day!
Thank you, Annemarie! I’m so glad you like this website.
