14 Patriotic Quotes to Honor Those We Remember on Memorial Day

Patriotic quotes are some of the most inspiring and motivating quotes of all time. On the last Monday of each May we honor the men and women who have died in service to our great country -- a day that has become known as Memorial Day. This Memorial Day, let's remember these noble and honorable souls with these 14 patriotic quotes.

4. "Bravery never goes out of fashion." ~ William Makepeace Thackeray

7. "And each man stand with his face in the light of his own drawn sword. Ready to do what a hero can." ~ Elizabeth Barrett Browning

8. "The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding, go out to meet it." ~ Thucydides

9. "The cost of liberty is less than the cost of repression." ~ Web Dubois

14. "And I'm proud to be an American, where at least I know I'm free. And I won't forget the men who died, who gave that right to me. And I'll proudly stand up next to you and defend her still today, 'cuz there ain't no doubt I love this land, god bless the USA." ~ Lee Greenwood

This Memorial Day, let us remember that our freedom did not come without a price. Without the sacrifices of the many brave men and women who died for our nation, we would not enjoy the liberty we know today. Let these fourteen patriotic quotes serve as a reminder of that fact.
