Barack Obama Quotes About Loss

• To those of you mourn the loss of a loved one today, my heart goes out to you. We remember that the blessings that we enjoy as Americans came at a dear cost.

We must honor it in our own lives by holding their memories close to our hearts, and heeding the example they set.

But I think part of the point that I wanted to make was that it’s not enough just to feel bad.
