Memorial Day 2010

Unknown but to God.

But, please also take a moment out of your day to honor the deeper meaning of Memorial Day, the memory of those who throughout the years have given the ultimate measure of their devotion in order to safeguard our nation, freedoms, and way of life.  They are the quintessential patriots who, as often as not, fought as much for the sake of the warriors they stood shoulder to shoulder with as for any particular ideology or notions of home, flag, Mom, or even apple pie.  But, what is unquestionable is that they gave all of their tomorrows so that others might be able to enjoy their future yesterdays...

So on this Memorial Day I encourage you to say a prayer for all of those fallen, and for their bereaved families that had to carry on with only the memories of their beloved.  And perhaps say another as well for all who currently serve, voluntarily, to keep us safe and sound here at home.  And if you're not particularly religious, well then at least offer a toast to America's heroes, whether fallen, living, historical or contemporary.

All the best to you and yours.
