The following is excerpted from the back of the "We Remember" program with credit given to the source:

"On this Memorial Day 1998, we salute those brave Americans who have served this nation in foreign wars, especially those who paid the ultimate price in defense of our country.

They answered the call to preserve our American values and way of life.  Their self-sacrifice and bravery remains an inspiration to all our citizens, and the best example of the true character of our great nation....

This Memorial Day we ask all Americans everywhere to take a moment to remember those who have faithfully served our country in the armed forces.

To all of our nation's veterans - especially those still suffering from the pain of wounds inflicted in battle - and to the families of the fallen, we offer our heartfelt thanks on behalf of a grateful nation.   (Veterans of Foreign Wars)
