Remembering…
THAT is what Memorial Day is all about. Yet even on this day, while our Armed Forces are in harm’s way in far away lands and while our borders leak like sieves and our Border Patrol officers are totally overrun, most Americans will grill hot dogs, eat chips, and watch various ballgames on the tube. Most Americans will enjoy a nice pool and then hit the house and cool off in a nice air-conditioned environment while our soldiers fight and die for our Rights and Freedoms in a vast sandbox with temperatures reaching 110+ degrees.
Enjoy your swim. Enjoy your hot dogs, chips, and ball games. Stay cool in your safe homes. However, take at least a moment – just one short minute – to remember those who have fought and died for your Freedom to do these things. Remember also those that continue to fight and die this very day for those Rights you enjoy every day as free Americans. Remember them all in your prayers today and every day, no matter to what Gods you pray.
As a final thought on this Memorial Day let me ask you all to find a Veteran, (they are everywhere), and simply say “Thank you”. It will mean a lot to them – and you.
In Rememberance,
