I don’t think it would be possible for me to come up with something more profound to say about Memorial Day than what has so eloquently been said by others. All I can say is how grateful I am for those who have served and those who are serving. Most especially, though, I try to focus my attention on those who have given the ultimate sacrifice to protect my freedom. I can never adequately express my gratitude for them or for what they have done. My feelings are summed up nicely by this Trace Adkins song, told from the perspective of one who has made the sacrifice:

To all those who have served, who are serving, or who have given their lives for my freedom – whether they be Soldier, Airman, Sailor, Marine, or Coast Guardsman – THANK YOU! Your service and sacrifice are appreciated more than I can express!

I’ve seen it before and eyes grew moist; today, it makes tears fall….

God Bless those who have gone to a final rest, and may He Comfort and Sustain those that these heroes left behind.

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God. – Benjamin Franklin
When Good stands up to Evil, Evil blinks. – Vassar Bushmills

I take a moment each and EVERY day to thank the United States Military for keeping my family and myself safe and able to be whatever WE CAN BE!

I have flags in my garden and flags in the flower pots in the house so that when I open the blinds to allow the sunshine in for them it reminds me to thank them :)
