Part of the cost to protect the country’s freedoms and ideals is the need for a military. While serving the need, as a cost for the freedoms we enjoy, lives are lost. Many families can name at least one in their lineage who, not only served, but fought and died for their country. Whether you agree with war, violence, or the reasons behind both, all are cast aside for Memorial Day. Regardless of the principals behind it, someone somewhere lost their son/daughter, husband/father, wife/mother. Their ultimate sacrifice deserves our honor. For, “greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
Honor Our Military
Let's honor our military,
The men and women who serve,
Whose dedication to our country
Does not falter, halt or swerve.
Let's respect them for their courage;
They're ready to do what's right
To keep America safe,
So we can sleep better at night.
Let's support and defend our soldiers,
Whose hardships are brutal and cruel,
Whose discipline we can't imagine,
Who follow each order and rule.
Here's to those who choose to be warriors
And their helpers good and true;
They're fighting for American values;
They're fighting for me and you.
