**In Memoriam...**

The ancient Chinese strongly believed in the power of ancestor worship, and even today, many Chinese households dedicate a space to those who have preceded them and ask them for guidance and protection.

 Many other cultures also celebrate their ancestors. In Mexico on //Dia de Los Muertos//, family members will place photographs, food and flowers honoring their loved ones. Memorials and museums have been built to provide a space to remember the past. The Museum of Tolerance in Los Angeles, The Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C., and The Ground Zero Memorial in New York are all structures dedicated as a place to honor, grieve, and reflect. Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address was a brief but powerful dedication to //"those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this."//
