Memorial Day Tribute

       God: The One Supreme Being, The Creator and Ruler of
                 the Universe.
   Liberty: Freedom from external or foreign rule, freedom.
 Freedom: The power or right to act, speak or think as one wants
                  without hindrance or restraint.
Patriotism: Devoted love, support and defense of one's country.

    This country was founded on God, Liberty, Freedom, and
Patriotism, these are attributes that our Founding Fathers built
into this countries landscape before we were a Sovereign Nation.
    This and all Memorial Days, are a time to reflect on God and
His Blessings on this country, that we are privileged to live in. It
is a time to reflect on God's warnings about wars and rumors of
wars, that are a constant threat to the liberty and freedoms that we,
in this country, cherish so much.
    In the many battles that have been fought, in and for this country,
Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness, is constantly, a goal,
worthy of our pursuit, and many men and women have given their
lives and parts of their bodies to chase that goal and preserve that
goal, for every citizen in this United States of America.
    We, at times, may talk about battles and wars and debate whether
they were just or unjust, right or wrong for this great country, we have
the privilege to live in. Those debates should be set aside for this
weekend, because this weekend is a time to remember friends, family
and all the men and women that gave the ultimate sacrifice for this
country.
    This is also a time to remember all those, whose lives have been
forever changed by what they experienced, saw and felt, while they
were fighting for the U.S.A. It is easy for us to forget that while
military personal, may physically leave the battle field, the battle
field doesn't always leave them. I pray God will help them find peace!
    This Memorial Day Weekend, When you see this countries flag,
put your right hand over your heart and say a prayer for this country.
With all the turmoil and terrorism in this world, we need God's
Guiding Hands, to hold onto us and lead us, more than ever.
    To all our military personal, our first responders, and any one else
that puts their lives on the line, day in and day out, for the citizens
of this United States of America. Whether you were drafted or are
part of our voluntary forces, men and women like you, keep this
country safe, for the rest of us.
    Freedom comes at a very expensive price, we only hold onto it,
at the expense of the blood, sweat, and tears of the men and women
of our armed forces and the sacrifice of their families.
    As a citizen of this United States of America I say,
     THANK YOU!, THANK YOU!,  THANK YOU!
