"Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few." —Winston Churchill
As we do on this day each year, we pause to remember the men and women who died fighting for our freedom.
We stand by humbly, gratefully, silently, to honor their sacrifice.
We remember…
We mourn for those lost…
And we mourn for those they’ve left behind…
As we reflect again on the the steep price of freedom.
By all means, enjoy your picnics, parades and celebrations today – it is a holiday after all. But do pause to remember and honor all the brave Americans across time who have sacrificed their lives in the fight against tyrants and tyrannies that threaten the endurance of the great American experiment.
And should anyone dare ask “what difference does it make”
I think it’s fair to say “all the difference in the world.”
Because there will always be tyrants.
And God willing we will always be there to take them out. NOTE: Originally posted May 25, 2015
Have a wonderful Memorial Day MOTI, wherever you are.

Man that pic of the woman laying on the grave (I would guess that is her husband) is very powerful. Wow it made me tear up. God bless her and the soldier who gave his life so that we could be free.
