Respect
and remember.
They
defended our right to worship freely and our right to speak publicly.
They
carried arms in hopes that we would not have to; but also they protected our
right to bear arms if so choose.
Even
though most of them did not know us, they placed themselves as shields to prevent
evil from entering our homes.
They fought with all their might for liberty even though it cost them their own.
“Greater
love has no one than this:
to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
John
15:13
Enjoy
your day off from work. Relish the time spent with friends and family. Our
fallen heroes would want you to enjoy the freedoms they fought so hard to
protect.
But,
surely, the least we can do is lay down our golf clubs, our T.V. remotes, and
cell phones to respect and remember those who laid down their lives for us.
Please
pause at 3:00 p.m. on Memorial Day and thank God for those who have served and
died for our country and our freedom.
Respect
and remember.
