Memorial Day isn't just about honoring veterans, its honoring those who lost their lives. Veterans had the fortune of coming home.

I've been singing properly every day since I was about fifteen or sixteen, and I have never had any problems with my voice, ever.

There were times when it appeared to Dorian Gray that the whole of history was merely the record of his own life, not as he had lived it in act and circumstand, but as his imagination had created it for him, as it had been in his brain and in his passions.
