On this day of observance for Memorial Day...

and every day, we at Waiting for Ships remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. We personally remember our own loved ones, as well as the Coast Guardsmen who have died in the line of duty, and we also honor the memory of fallen servicemembers from all of our Nation's Armed Forces.

Soldier, rest!

Thy warfare o'er,

Sleep the sleep that knows not breaking,

Dream of battled fields no more.

Days of danger, nights of waking.

-Sir Walter Scott
