It is possible to mourn those who have died and at the same time thank God for the lives of those He has given us. Both mourning and thankfulness are important elements of the healing process in the loss of a loved one. It is the reason we commemorate the fallen on Memorial Day. I understand Patton's quote from a soldiers perspective is intended to encourage those left behind but mourning when combined with thankfulness is not foolish.
