MEMORIAL DAY EVE

5/29/11

Sad. Sobering. Heart-wrenching. These words came to mind as I watched tonight’s PBS special honoring our country’s war heroes. The reality of war is brutal. The responsibility we have to the families of the lost and wounded is on-going. It’s a position of responsibility all Americans must take.

Throughout our country’s past there have been many wars resulting in many deaths. Thus, the establishment of this “holiday” to honor all those who died in service.....Yet, we can't help bur remember the living, and the wounded, who have served and fought for our freedom and have lost a part of themselves on the various battlefields..

Wars will continue and so must we. We need to continue, as He leads, to be the hands and feet of our Lord and reach out and minister to our military families, especially those who have lost loved ones in battle.
