Before we all head out for the three-day weekend that signifies the unofficial start of summer, let us take a moment to remember those who made the ultimate sacrifice so that we could enjoy our freedom.
Take a break from the picnics and barbeques to celebrate what others so selflessly defended for our sake.
Recall the words Abraham Lincoln delivered inGettysburg, “that these dead shall not have died in vain – that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom – and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.”
Do not forget that freedom continues to come at the highest price, and that we are still involved in many conflicts around the world.
Never take our freedom for granted.
