Mayor Michael D. Antonovich issued the following Memorial Day message prior to his annual event at Arcadia’s County Park Saturday:
“On the 40th anniversary of D-day, President Ronald Reagan said, ‘One’s country is worth dying for, and democracy is worth dying for, because it is the most deeply honorable form of government ever devised by man.’ On Memorial Day, we remember and pay tribute to fallen heroes and their families, to appreciate the blessings of liberty and recognize the power and virtue of their sacrifice. And in their honor, we resolve to be ever vigilant in preserving liberty and peace throughout the world. At Gettysburg, President Abraham Lincoln said, ‘…from these honored dead, we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion — that we here highly resolve these dead shall not have died in vain…’”
