We are free today because of another’s loss on this Memorial Day.
Let’s not let our veterans’ loss, who willingly gave their lives so we could be free, go in vain.
Yes, we mourn the loss of those lives, they were our own flesh and blood, brother, sister, father, mother, aunt and uncle, neighbor and friend.
Yet I don’t believe they want us stuck in a state of mourning over them, they would want us living daily in the victory they fought and gave their lives for us to have.
Today and always let us remember to keep the hard fought-for freedoms our ancestors died so we could have.
They were looking ahead toward future generations and their well-being of life, of liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
What is one thing I can be thankful today because of their loss for my gain?
What is one thing I can do going forward to continue this freedom for my family and future generations?
