Today, we reflect, remember, and honor those who selflessly died sacrificing their lives for our freedom. When many of us ran for protection, these men (He-roes) and women (She-roes) ran into the fire! Our flag does not fly because the wind moves it. It flies with the last breath of each soldier who died defending and protecting what the flag represents; it’s people. What cost us nothing cost these brave men and women everything. Jesus said this in John 15:13, “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”
My brothers and sisters, Memorial Day is not a celebration, rather it is a solemn contemplation over the cost of our freedom. I pray that every American across our great nation will take a few minutes (out of the next 12 waking hours) to reflect on the importance of freedom and the value of the sacrifices made by those who died defending it. Though we may not know them all, we certainly owe them all!
