Memorial Day 2026

"I Wish I Could Say" a poem written by Major Michael Davis O'Donnell shortly before he was killed in action on March 24, 1970.

If you are able,
save them a place
inside of you
and save one backward glance
when the leaves are falling
toward the trees in our park
and you know their memory
is the only thing left
to give them.

You can tell them full well
they did their duty
and who can forget
their deep brown eyes?

They were not a boy,
they were a man,
they were our friend.

Remember them always,
for we have saved
a place inside of us
to honor them forever.

The smallest of kindnesses, can never be repaid. Let us give thanks for Danbury Partners LTD, a supporter of the Purple Heart Chapter 1513. This Monday, providing parking for the combat wounded to attend a ballgame. Not only that, going above and beyond to ensure that the Purple Heart who will park there will know, they are in the right place, and welcome. Thank you Danbury Partners, LTD!!
