This day is always somber to me when I pause to reflect on its meaning. Our national history is the story of people standing and fighting for ideals and principles that are greater than the individual. Our country was formed from the sacrifices of men and women who were willing to fight for things they believe in. The American revolution,the Civil war,World War 1&2, Korea, and on to todays conflicts,were and are waged at a high cost.
The freedoms we enjoy, and take for granted , have come at the cost of countless American lives and sacrifices. In church yesterday, the pastor asked all Vets to stand and every silver-haired man over 70 stood up. It seems the whole generation before us had served. I thank God for the people who have formed this nation and pray that future generations will rise to serve if called upon.
