Memorial Day Gratitude

Hundreds of thousands have given their lives so that we may be free. Hundreds of thousands of families have been devastated by the loss of a family member who was serving in the armed forces.

For each person who has given their lives so that we could be free…

For every mom who has lost a son…

For every wife who has lost a husband…

For every husband who has lost a wife…

For every child who has lost a father…

For every child who has lost a mother…

For every brother who has lost a brother or sister…

For every sister who has lost a brother or sister…

For every fiancĂ© who has lost his or her future spouse…

For everyone who has lost anyone…

I want to extend a heart of great gratitude for giving the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom!

This weekend we are remembering those who so courageously and graciously gave their lives for us. This weekend we pause to reflect on those whose lives were turned upside down so we could enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
