Freedom and Liberty!
There are few words in the English language that stir our souls with such reverence, respect and awe.
Can we ever fully understand the meaning of these words, or the price that is paid to guarantee our everlasting privilege to live under such circumstances?
The countless souls who went home to our Heavenly Father for love of family, of homes, and country.
and of yesterday...
The ones who live, we can shake hands with...
and the ones who sorrow, we can embrace.
Do we remember the fear we felt when our freedom and liberty were in jeopardy?
Or when brother fought against brother, each believing they were doing the right thing?
Can we understand the fear they felt when landing in harms way?
Do we honor the memorials to their sacrifices?
The names and faces?
Do we understand the commitment each American soldier makes on behalf of his/her fellow citizens?
Can we ever thank them enough for all they do?
What does it take to preserve freedom, to guarantee liberty?
It takes courage, dignity, honor, commitment, and above all...Love of one's fellowman.
God bless our soldiers serving this great nation...
and God Bless America!
