My friends, please take a moment today in between your grilling and chilling and drinking to give thanks to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our Country. Think of those who chose to join the Continental Army in 1775 in the War of Independence. Those who joined the Union Army to help preserve the Union when things were at their worst. Think of those who served bravely in two World Wars, and those who served to fight communism and terrorism. I salute each and everyone of those soldiers and civilians who lost their lives in the cause of freedom. God bless you all!
I leave you now to ponder the words of Abraham Lincoln:
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in, to bind up the nation's wounds, to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow and his orphan, to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace among ourselves and with all nations.
