Memorial Day is a time for us to honor and remember those who have given their life in the service and protection of our country. Most notably are those who have fought and died in the military. They gave their life so that we can enjoy the freedoms that make this country the best country in the world in which to live.
I received the following in an email from my uncle Gerard Gray that I thought captured the heart of Memorial Day and pays tribute to all veterans. The author is unknown.
It is the VETERAN, not the preacher, who has given us
freedom of religion.
It is the VETERAN, not the reporter, who has given us
freedom of the press.
It is the VETERAN, not the poet, who has given us
freedom of speech.
It is the VETERAN, not the campus organizer, who has given us
freedom to assemble.
It is the VETERAN, not the lawyer, who has given us
the right to a fair trial.
It is the VETERAN, not the politician, who has given us
the right to vote.
God bless the veterans who have served our country well. Thank you!
Let us teach our children to show honor and respect to those in the military, especially those who have given their all for us.
Jesus said in John 15:12-14, “This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends. You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
My son, Zack put together a Memorial Day tribute video using a song that I sing. You can view the video by clicking here: View the Video
May God bless you this Memorial Day weekend, and may God continue to bless America!
