Memorial Day

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!
