At the grave of a hero we end, not with sorrow at the inevitable loss, but
with the contagion of his courage; and with a kind of desperate joy we go
back to the fight. ~ Oliver Wendell Holmes

Wendell Holmes fought in the Civil War, enlisting with the Massachusetts
militia during his senior year of college. He suffered numerous wounds and
nearly died of dysentery.
After three years, in 1864, Holmes was able to walk away from military
service. He would go on to live another 71 years, ultimately becoming one of
the best-known and most oft-cited U.S. Supreme Court Justices in history.
(He defined

m/~/t/0/0/copyblogger/~en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clear_and_present_danger>
"clear and present danger," for example.)
Holmes would serve all the way until just a couple of months before his 91st
birthday. His was a full and vibrant life.
Unfortunately, so many of the men Holmes fought with and against in the
Civil War did not make it home. Nor have so many of the men and women who
have fought in the wars that have occurred since. So much life unlived. So
much potential unable to be fulfilled.
Today, those of us in the U.S. pause to honor these men and women - those
whose lives ended, as Holmes wrote, "at the grave of a hero."
As Ronald Reagan said,
