Dear Friends,
Today is Memorial Day. It
is the day on which we remember those who have sacrificed their lives to
protect this blessed country. It is the day on which we remember and honor our
brave heroes.
Let us remember those who
have fallen. Let us remember the brave men and women who willingly paid the
ultimate sacrifice to ensure the peace and safety of our country. Let us
remember and honor those who have died in active military service.
Each Memorial Day, I like
to read the following poem with my friends and family. It reminds us of the
brave men and women who have died for our great country.
A
fallen serviceman, a fallen servicewoman
A
life laid down, in the name of freedom
Although
we call our deceased soldiers the “fallen”
We
know that in heaven, they are standing up
Standing
up for the freedom, liberty, and justice
That
they so bravely stood for on earth
God
remembers each soldier’s brave sacrifice
And
the Lord will bless their courageous souls
May
our nation’s fallen soldiers rest in peace
And
may God keep them in his loving care always
Amen.
Thank
you for supporting our soldiers; whenever you see a veteran, please take
the time to say hello and thank them for their selfless and brave service for
our country.
May
God bless you and your family and may God bless and protect our soldiers!
Jonathan A. Lu
