We find the cost of freedom, buried in the ground...Stephen Stills
Remember!
Deep sorrow sits heavily in the hearts
Of all who love and understand freedom
For today, we reflect upon the price paid
Today we feel the pain of all we have lost
Today we weep with the loved ones of our Fallen
As a Nation, our strength and security depends
On those who have the courage to defend, us
On those who place themselves in harms way, for us
On those who are brave beyond their deepest fears, for us
And on those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, for us
Wherever there is freedom
Wherever people have the right of choice
Wherever children grow up with opportunity
The soil is stained with the blood
Of the American Soldier
Take heart, America!
Understand what we have been granted
Understand the magnitude of our loss
Understand our personal debt
For the freedom we enjoy
It is our Fallen who are the true heroes
For they defended with their life, our life
Never forget that they have left us too soon
That they served with dignity and died with honor
That each of them is the golden symbol of liberty
Know that; We should honor our Flag, as They did
Keep freedom as our absolute focus, as They did
Be proud of who we are, as They were
Hold tightly to the dreams, that They had
And then, we will begin to understand the depth of our loss

May the Lord Jesus bless you, and those whom you love. May He also bless the men and women of our armed forces, who are there to make sure we are safe and have the freedoms our forefathers wrote into our Constitution. May the Lord Jesus bless the families of all of those who are serving in our military, and the souls of those who gave their lives in the performance of their duty. With much love inmy heart, joy to the world, peaceon earth, & ((((((((((MANY WONDERFULSISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your sister, Barbie

not with beautiful words like the ones above to help
great share
That they served with dignity and died with honor
I think far too many have forgotten these days - and we need many more reminders like yours.
Be safe,
