Manuel Luis Molina Quezon born 8/19/1878 Baler, Tayabas, Philippines; died 8/1/1944 Saranac Lake, New York; initially buried @ the base of the Battleship Maine Memorial Arlington National Cemetery (8/3/1944) with 21 gun rifle salute on a casket draped with the American flag
on a horsedrawn caisson. Pres Quezon remains were re-interred in the Manila North Cemetery (8/3/1944) and then finally moved to Quezon Memorial Shrine in the Philippines (8/1/1946). He was President of the Commonwealth of the
Philippines under U.S. colonial
rule.
Pres Quezon was a Major in the Philippine-American War as aide-de-camp of Philippine President Emilio
Aguinaldo. He was also an official member of the U.S. Congress when
he served as the U.S. Resident Commisioner from the Philippines (1909-1916). He was evacuated to the U.S during WW11
where he established the Commonwealth government
in exile. He was a Pacific
War Council member and signatory to the U.N. declaration against the Axis
Powers.

CROSSING THE BAR
Alfred Lord Tennyson
Sunset and evening star
And one clear call for me
And may there be no moaning of the
bar!
When I put out to sea.
But such a tide as moving seems asleep
Too full of sound and foam
When that which drew from out of
the
boundless deep
Turns again home
Twilight and evening bell,
And after that the dark!
And may there be no sadness of farewell,
When I embark
For though from our bourne of Time
and Place
The flood may bear me far
I hope
to see my Pilot face to face
When I have crossed
the bar.
THE SOLDIER’S GRAVE
While standing by your grave
I read the words etched in stone.
“Killed
In Action in the July Drive,
But You Did Not Die Alone!
When the orders were given
For you to go over the top.
How sad you must have
felt
To watch your comrades drop!
When the bullets pierced your skin
And before taking your last breath,
Did you have a chance
to pray
Before your rendevouz with death?
Oh, dear soldier, loyal
and brave
Are you now at peace?
Do you have a restless soul
That will rest when all wars have ceased?
