We come here everyday as friends and neighbors

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to provide fresh flowers, water, ribbons, bows, flags, pictures, information, wreaths, mementos.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to look, to read, to think, to ponder.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to help.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to greet each other.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to sadly add to this memorial.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to light candles.

We come here everyday as friends and neighbors to hear taps.

Let us not ever forget why we come here every day.

We come here everyday.
