Today we celebrate Memorial Day. As we gather together with friends and family it is so important that we remind ourselves why we celebrate this special day.
Memorial Day is an opportunity to remember our brave men and women in the military, all those who have made sacrifices, especially the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. We live in the greatest Country the world has ever known. It is only because of the courage and sacrifice made by so many that we still have this freedom today.
President Reagan told us that Freedom is only one generation away from Extinction. With all that has been happening in our country over the past few years we need to be even more vigilant in protecting our precious freedom! This Monday, Memorial Day, May 27 take the time to attend a Memorial Day service in your community, say a prayer for those who fought for our freedom and for those who are still fighting, thank those in uniform for their service, thank a veteran, and keep in your thoughts and prayers the many who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.
There are many families who mourn the loss of their loved ones and individuals who live with the scars of war every day. Wouldn't it be nice if we could remember and honor those who sacrificed to give us our freedom every day, and not just one day a year! "Blessed is he whom lays down his life for others" God Bless America!
