I start thinking of this Siefried Sassoon poem, and it's worse.
But this always helps.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.

Today is for the living, not the dead.
Today is for those who did more, and have returned to tell the stories.
Today is a day for "Thank you"s not "I'm Sorry"s.
If you make today for the still and derelict, you miss your neighbors who knew them.
This is a day for celebrating with those who remember, not mourning those who cannot celebrate.
This is for Us, the living.
