Lest We Forget Memorial Day Remembrance and Tiny Soldier Bible

By Lorraine

Lest we forget Memorial Day remembrance of those who served and gave their all with a collection of quotes and verses from a soldiers little Salvation BibleThe weekend that unofficially ushers in summer is here already. Though it is not for a few weeks until the calendar says it is summer, Memorial Day weekend is usually the kickoff with picnics, backyard barbecues, visits to the beach or campgrounds.  But it is also a time to remember. Lest We Forget Memorial Day Remembrance is a day we remember all Americans that died in military service.

Decoration Day

 
Lest we forget Memorial Day remembrance of those who served and gave their all with a collection of quotes and verses from a soldiers little Salvation Bible.The holiday, that began after the Civil War, was originally known as “Decoration Day,” and was founded to honor the soldiers who died in that war. Though John and I have many family members who have served and currently serve in the military, only one lost his life. My husbands great, great, great grandfather was injured in the second battle of Bull Run during the Civil War and later succumbed to his injuries. He is interred in the Nashville National Cemetery, Tennessee. 
 

Soldiers Salvation Bible

Lest we forget Memorial Day remembrance of those who served and gave their all. Quotes and verses from a soldiers little Salvation Bible for Decoration Day.In a little cedar chest I was given at my high school graduation, I keep some of the military items belonging to our fathers. Among the WW II memorabilia and ephemera, we found a tiny paper booklet. Titled, Our Salvation Bible, each page is filled with verses. It was Copyright 1942 by John Ray Hinkle, Dayton, Virginia. I don’t know if each soldier was given one of these or perhaps they were made available from a Chaplain. Maybe they were given from one soldier to another.

And their names are engraven on honor’s bright crest.

Richard Watson Gilder
 
A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.
Joseph Campbell
 
Who kept the faith and fought the fight; The glory theirs, the duty ours.

    What a nice little yreasure. That little book looks like brand new. A lot of my family members have served but none have died while on active duty. I had one uncle who died in a motorcycle accident when he was on his way home after being discharged
