http://rightwinger.townhall.com/Memorial Day is the day I ponder why so many had to sacrifice and so many to die, just to allow everyone else the right to be free.
Free to say or do what they care to. The right to be as selfish or as magnanimous as they care to, to worship freely or to not.
It’s also the day I think more fondly of the guys I went to High School with (some of whom I didn’t care for much) who went to ‘ Nam and unlike myself, didn’t come back, or came back broken physically or mentally.
With that thought in hand, I keep in mind these days the Men and Women serving their country now. There are a group of them I know personally, and some I’ve never met, but that I know about. And at this point the one thing I can offer them is to never forget the sacrifice they are making and to never forget to pray for them daily. It sometimes doesn’t seem like much to me. But it is what I received when I needed it. And it is what I can do for those who need it now.
I don’t generally support the idea of being at war just for the hell of it. But there are times in the life of a nation when it necessary to wage battle against those who would do us harm and remove from us the Freedom to be the Nation we have chosen to be.
Now is such a time. Without the Men and Women who serve this Nation, that battle might already be over, and with an outcome not to our advantage.
Those who choose to stand in harms way to safeguard the nation of their birth deserve only accolades and the full support of the People they serve. The People after all are who they serve. A nation is just a pile of dirt with a border, without The People who make it what it is.
At this point in time, there are Men and Women who are fully deserving of our total support. Let this day be the day we remember why.
