Silent echoes whisper with each whip of the wind beckoning another wave of the American flag.
In almost whimsical fashion, she sashays proudly above the world, standing for truth, standing for freedom, standing for peace.
Each star and each stripe a symbol of victory, a symbol of war, a symbol of lives lost fighting for life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
Freedom is never free.
It always costs someone something.
Often it costs someone everything.
On Memorial Day we celebrate, we honor, we remember those who gave everything so that we could live in a country, free from tyranny, free from economic and social slavery, free from religious persecution, free to work hard, live responsibly, become all God created us to be, do good to our fellow man, respect authority, participate in the election process, have a voice in this world, and raise our children to appreciate the freedoms they have been given.
Today, we celebrate, we honor, we remember, and we thank each person who died so that we might be free. We celebrate, honor, remember and thank each family member who has lost a loved one in the line of duty…
- Each wife
- Each child
- Each mother
- Each father
- Each sister
- Each brother
- Each grandmother
- Each grandfather
- Each aunt
- Each uncle
Each person who bled and died so that we might be free… we THANK YOU for giving your all!
And on Memorial Day, may we celebrate, honor, remember and thank Jesus for giving His all for our ultimate freedom – freedom from sin and self – freedom to live for Christ and become all God created us to be.
On this Memorial Day, may we remember that, “Greater love has no man than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13
