Memorial Day

Today, families and friends around the country will gather to celebrate . . . We'll barbecue . . . We'll swim . . . We'll laugh . . . We'll talk about things going on around the world . . . We'll gripe about our government . . . We'll praise our government . . . Some may even argue about our government . . .

But one thing we cannot argue about is that we're here because of someone else's sacrifice.

We're here because there are those who are willing to give all they have and all they are for our freedom.

We're here because there are those who gave their lives so that we can sit in our yards, and laugh, and play, and enjoy this great nation.

So in the midst of your fun and celebrations, take a moment to remember. Remember those who have died serving our country. Remember the husbands, and wives, and children, and parents, and friends they left behind.

May we always remember. May we never forget.

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

John 15:13
