Today’s Memorial Day quote is from our friend Lt. Jeanette Shin, CHC, USN, the first commissioned Buddhist chaplain in the U.S. Armed Forces (she serves in the Navy). This is it — from a Memorial Day post to the Buddhist Military Sangha from last year:

American Buddhists have fought in the wars of this nation, and Buddhist families have lost sons and daughters in our wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. They have also given the “last full measure,” no different from any other citizen of this Nation. Do not forget those who have given so much for us. Take time during your Memorial Day vacation, or during your memorial services this Sunday, to remember those who have served.
