Memorial Day

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”John 15:13

Memorial Day is the designated day when we honor the men and women of the Armed Forces of the United States who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom, giving their very lives. All veterans whether killed during serving their country or died in non combat can be interned in a US Cemetery. 

Todays youth unless taught by their parents don’t learn honor and respect. Our country is much different from when I was a teen and no I was not in a covered wagon. Anyway do your family, your bank account, and those who gave their life so you could do what pleases you on this day the benefit of taking time to really think about what this day means. 

The flag at half staff today is the real purpose of half staff not for any other reason except an officials death. Today take time to think about those who gave their lives both here on this soil and in foreign lands. In these past 25 years civilians got caught in the cross fire with terrorist attacks. As the late former President Ronald Reagan said”Freedom is only one generation away from extinction”. 

PRAYER: Lord I thank you for the lives saved during military service but also known of many wounded left behind by death,injuries, PTSD, and other incidents. Comfort those left behind and help us never forget what this country stands for and help people wake up who can’t see what is happening in America. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
