Memorial Day Thoughts

I celebrate remembrance of men and women- so many unknown brave courageous souls who believed in giving their all for something that was bigger than themselves. For this, I am so very grateful because I know that I live in a country whose roots and main theme, yes reason for becoming a country has always been liberty and justice for all. Can we truly look to our neighbors who look and speak differently than us, with many unique ways of living, for a common thread of humanity? If only for the sake of knowing that every person from every tongue in the world we live in was created by a good Creator, who desires us all to live peacefully as his children one with another. To truly enjoy every breath we take and all the resources i.e..homes, family, love, health, nature, good food, …freedom that we all can take for granted. There have always been evil forces that threaten cultures, countries and peoples from all walks of life; but it is the ones who know the right thing to do and do not hesitate to do that right thing for the sake of the many who are true heroes. And for that, we celebrate them, grateful for those whose names are written in the annuls of evermore… who have forever made generations after them safer and freer by their unselfish sacrifice of life. For no greater gift is known than to lay down one’s life for another. Happy Memorial Day America!
