We stand in the presence of
the honored dead. We stand
accountable to them, and to
the generations yet unborn
for whom they gave their
lives. God, the father of all
living, watches over these
hallowed graves and blesses
the souls of those who rest
here. May he keep us strong in
the courage that will win
this war, and may he impart to
us the wisdom and the vision
that we shall need for true
victory in the peace which is
to come."
- President Franklin Roosevelt
