Hi, folks. Hope you're all enjoying the holiday weekend. Can't stay around tonight (I'm pooped from all the revelry today), but just wanted to share with you part of the lyrics of a song I sang this morning in church that really bring home the sacrifices made by our military over the years.

What Did He Die For (Twila Paris)

He was twenty-one in 1944
He was hope and he was courage on a lonely shore
Sent there by a mother with love beyond her tears
Just a young American who chose to rise above his fears
And as I watch him struggle up that hill
Without a thought of turning back
I cannot help but wonder

What did he die for?
When he died for you and me
Made the sacrifice
So that we could all be free
I believe we will answer each to heaven
For the way we spend a priceless liberty
Look inside and ask the question
What did he die for,
When he died for me.

Very nice!

I got the most beautiful e-card from my SIL. It was to honor my late brother. I wish I could post it here.
