Every year, Julie posts this. Every year, I read it and cry. This year, I’ll toss in a link to Lex’s thoughts on Memorial Day.
I am thankful for those who have served our country, and I pray the Lord’s blessings on their loved ones– most of all for those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation and the freedoms we enjoy therein.
Cory Booker said it thus:
We drink deeply from wells of freedom we did not dig, we eat from a table of abundance prepared for us by courageous hands and hearts, may we ever be mindful of their sacrifice and may we show our gratitude not simply in word or ceremony but in our continued work and dedication to make ours a more perfect union.
