Memorial Day

Amongst the business of the day, barbecuing, spending time with family and friends, eating delicious food, I forgot something. I am sad to say I did not remember until after we had eaten dinner. As we were still sitting at the table, our stomachs full with grilled chicken, hamburgers, hotdogs, salad, chips and fresh pineapple, it suddenly dawned on me that I had not taken even a moment to remember what this day is all about. I immediately told my family that I wanted to take a moment to pray, and to remember the soldiers who had given their lives, and their families that are left behind missing their loved ones. No, this country isn't perfect. It has tons of issues. But, I am happy and proud to be an American. Yes, we grumble about paying taxes, about our corrupt government, about the social inequality that exists. Yes, these are huge issues. But, I have the freedom to speak up and voice my opinions about these issues. And lots of men and women lost their lives ensuring and protecting that freedom. This country was built on the backbone of God loving folks sailing across an ocean to build a better life for their families. I would urge every American to take a moment, and give thanks to our God, and to the men and women who fought, and to this day still fight, to protect our liberties. Even the direst of circumstances here in this country can seem like Heaven to someone who lives in a country where there is no clean drinking water, dying everyday with no hope of help coming from anywhere, innocents being shot and killed in the streets by insurgents, Christians and other religious believers being killed for their beliefs. Being put to death because there is a Bible in the house. I know America has its issues too. But I thank God I am an American.
