Memorial Day 2009
It is no surprise that many folks not only don’t know the difference between “Memorial Day” & “Veterans Day” many don’t know which day is celebrated in May and which in September. Even worse, many don’t know the celebratory purpose. For many one holiday is the beginning of Summer Vacation and Barbeque season and the other is but the unwelcome end.
Those we honor on this Memorial Day are surely enjoying the fruits of their labor and sacrifices in the Presence of God. I pray that God’s eternal Grace is with those left behind. May their wounds of loss be healed knowing that the sacrifice of their loved ones was not in vain but in fact contributed to the freedom we enjoy today. I am eternally grateful for the sacrifices of those brave men and women who paid the ultimate price for freedom, our freedom. Thank you.
