Memorial Day 2016 Is Upon Us

Memorial Day 2016 is upon us and this Memorial Day is just as important as past years have been.  I think often of our thirteen little colonies taking on the mighty British Empire for their freedom.  And it finally rang true that those who began our nation shed their blood out of the relatization that the importance of freedom is a bonded thing with true American Citizens.  Never think that freedom is cheap.  It comes with a very high price indeed.  Just take a look at Arlington National Cemetery, Andersonville National Cemetery and any of the many that dot our nations landscape.  In these cemeteries, and many others are the graves of those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for their nation.  Look at the cemeteries overlooking the Utah, Point de Hoc, and others of Normandy, France where on June 6, 1944 the D-day Invasion occurred.  You can visit the Vietnam Wall of Honor in Washington, D.C.  And if you come away not feeling the terrible loss, then all that work and sacrifice was for nothing.  At Pearl Harbor where WWII began for the U.S. you see the reminds of a war lost by those who opposed individual freedom in the world.  We hold these truths as self evident that man is to enjoy the fruits of his or her labor and to provide for the chance at life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.  Please say a prayer for those who gave the ultimate for their nation.  Thank you for reading and may God Bless.
