Rotary Club of Morehead City NC - "Service Above Self " since 1925

This Memorial Day is dedicated to honoring the memory of those who gave their lives in active service to our beloved country: James Slape, Donald Becker, Paul Spargo. Never forgotten.


Shared from a friend Trish Faison Slape who lost her son James in active service:

The star upon their service flag has changed to gleaming gold;
It speaks no more of hope and life, as once it did of old,
But splendidly it glistens now for every eye to see
And softly whispers: 'Here lived one who died for liberty.

'Here once he walked and played and laughed, here oft his smile was known;
Within these walls today are kept the toys he used to own.
Now I am he who marched away and I am he who fell
Of service once I spoke, but now of sacrifice I tell.
'No richer home in all this land is there than this I grace,
For here was cradled manhood fine; within this humble place
A soldier for the truth was born, and here, beside the door,
A mother sits and grieves for him who shall return no
more.

''Salute me, stranger, as you pass! I mark a soldier who
Gave up the joys of living here, to dare and die for you!
This is the home that once he knew, who fought for you and fell;
This is a shrine of sacrifice, where faith and courage dwell.'

By, Edgar Albert Guest

For Gold Star families… Memorial Day.... is every day. Not to honor veterans or those who served but to remember those who died during their active service.

If you know one please add them to the comments below so we can honor them in our thoughts and actions this weekend.

Have your cookouts and your parties - because that is what our heroes would be doing - Remembering and Honoring those who have gone before.

But please don’t wish people “Have a Happy Memorial Day.”

Instead let’s honor those who went before us and those left to remember them by saying “I hope you enjoy your time with family and friends this Memerial Day as we honor and remember our heroes.”
