Respect and remember.
They defended your right to worship freely and to speak passionately and publicly for change.
They carried arms in hopes that you would not have to, but also they protected your right to bear arms if you so desire.
Even though they did not know you, they placed themselves as a shield to prevent evil from entering your homes.
They fought with all their might for your life and liberty
even though it cost them their own.
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13
Enjoy your day off from work. Relish in time spent with friends and family. Our fallen heroes would want you to enjoy the freedoms they fought so hard to protect.
But, surely, the least we can do is lay down our golf clubs, our T.V. remotes, and cell phones to respect and remember those who laid down their lives for us.

Please pause at 3:00 p.m. on Memorial Day and thank God for those who have served and died for our country and our freedom.
Respect and remember.
