Memorial day..

Today is Memorial day.  Ok, ok, today isn't Memorial day, but who says that we can only celebrate it on one day?  Shouldn't we remember it always?  Any way, I was feeling patriotic today, so....What does Memorial day mean to anyone?  How many people really sit and think about it?  Or, how many people actually silently thank those soldiers who are daily giving their lives for our freedom?

Freedom is NOT free and many, many soldiers have given their lives for it.  Young men, barely 20 years of age die almost every day defending out country.  Older men who have families here in the states, die almost every day defending YOUR freedom, YOUR liberties, OUR country!

Having had two grandfather's who fought in the war, (World War II) I know that they went through a lot of stuff.  Living in dirty clothes for days, not getting warm meals three times a day, if they got to eat even once a day on some days, and sleeping on hard beds, or the ground, knowing that the next day could be your last.

Let's remember to thank those that defend our country. Soldiers, Navy men, and officers alike. 

Happy Memorial day! Don't forget how we have gotten and kept our Freedom.....

One Nation UNDER GOD!  "Give me Liberty, or give me death!".  God bless America!

"I pray that we do not forget the awesome power of Our God, of whom our Country is under in all things.  Let us remember to thank God for this Country, for out freedom, for our liberties. Freedom to worship Him as we choose, Freedom to teach out children as we choose, and Freedom to defend our country. Amen."
