Why we remember

Today is Memorial Day in the United States. Most people will take vacations, enjoy barbecues, swim at the beaches. Many do not even know what this day is all about.

It is a day of remembrance. A solemn day. It is a day that we honor those who fought, suffered, and died so that this country could be free.

The freedoms we have in this country didn't magically happen. They were paid for in blood. Men and women died to make sure that we could live as we do in this nation. That flag that so many disrespect, your right to fly it, honor it and sadly to burn it came from the suffering of men and women who felt called to serve. The right to disagree with your public officials came from lives spent.

The reason you have the safety in which you stand is because of those GOD still calls to serve.  So pray for our soldiers. Treat them and their families with the courtesy that they not only deserve but have earned. Disagree with the wars if you wish but uphold the men and women that protect this land. Don't you dare disrespect those who pay for our freedoms in blood unless you are willing to take up a rifle and stand their posts.

May GOD Bless all those who serve this great nation and their families. Thank you for your service and your sacrifice. --- Freedom's Scribe
