Defense officials plan to recommend that the Yizkor text that was the subject of a dispute 
last year be officially included in Memorial Day services at military cemeteries.

The dispute centered around whether the words "Yizkor Elohim" ("May God remember" ) or "Yizkor Am Yisrael" ("May the nation of Israel remember") should be used. In the end, the second version won out.

"The men who have done the most for God in this world have been early on their knees. He who fritters away the early morning, its opportunity and freshness, in other pursuits than seeking God will make poor headway seeking Him the rest of the day. If God is not first in our thoughts and efforts in the morning, He will be in the last place the remainder of the day." - E. M. Bounds
