Just the sound of it conjures up wonderful images of summer, doesn't it? Memorial Day is a holiday anticipated each year nearly as much as any holiday Americans celebrate. It represents many things to us? the offical kick-off of the summer vacation season; theme parks, pools, National Parks, etc. are open for the summer season; a three day week-end. Don't forget the family picnics, barbecues and the parades.
While it's great to celebrate all the things, there's so much more to remember. This holiday weekend, take a moment to reflect on the real meaning behind this holiday- the ultimate sacrifice of life made by so many of our military men and women. Without the selfless duty of these people, we would not be able to enjoy and even take for granted, the freedom we have today. We should not forget the equal sacrifices made by the families of these individuals. Their lives were also changed forever due to the circumstances put upon them. And they, too, gave their best for the generations that followed.
THIS MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND, PLEASE TAKE A MOMENT TO GIVE THANKS FOR YOUR FREEDOM. THANK GOD FOR HIS GIFT OF THE MANY MEN AND WOMEN OF VALOR AND COURAGE WHO WILLINGLY GAVE ALL TO GRANT US THE PRIVILEGE OF BEING AMERICANS TODAY.
We salute all those who have fallen in service of OUR GREAT COUNTRY.
"GREATER LOVE HAS NO MAN THAN THIS, THAT A MAN LAY DOWN HIS LIFE FOR HIS FRIENDS."John 15:13
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND, EVERYONE! AND PLEASE BE CAREFUL OUT THERE.
