HONORING MEMORIAL DAY


We are so blessed to live in a "free" country. Although our freedoms are dwindling away at the speed of light and many don't even realize it. This week we honor all those men and women (from our own revolutionary war through our present battle in the middle east) who died to help keep the world a safer place.

I have been blessed to have had a grandfather who was in WWI and WII and came home to his family of five children. My father was in WWII, and came home safely and sprouted my brother, myself and my sister. And my own children; both my son and my daughter were in the Navy, and are now living safely with families of their own....Thank you Lord!

I am so blessed to have had them all come home safely, but many are not. My heart goes out to all those families whose grandfathers, fathers, sons and daughters lost their lives defending our freedom and the freedom of others who are not so lucky as we here in the good old U.S.A.
Have a blessed Memorial Day.
