They who struggled against formidable odds with the fear and courage of ordinary humans, whose names we shall never know, whose blood and tears we shall never see, whose cries of pain and hope we shall never hear, to them we are linked by a past that is never dead nor ever really past.

For all their faults and shortcomings, the people are all we have. Indeed, we ourselves are the people.
