Freedom is never free. It has to be fought for and guarded from one generation to another. No other people in history have ever enjoyed the freedoms we sometimes take for granted and rare is the nation that has ever fought a war to truly set another nation free. America has fought many wars to defend not only our freedom but to bring it to others. In all of history there have only been two people willing to lay down their lives for freedom— Jesus Christ and the American soldier. This is the day we pay homage to those Americans who have paid the ultimate price for freedom, though any day takes only a moment of quiet reflection to remember their sacrifice. God Bless them all. And remember to be grateful and pray for the safety of those serving today. And most of all give thanks and prayers for those young men and women who are at this very hour engaged in the fight, defending our freedoms and keeping our enemies awake at night. God Bless America.
