Let us never forget.

Memorial Day Weekend
Sitting here on a peaceful Saturday morning thinking of the upcoming weekend. Let us not forget those who sacrificed all they had to serve our country. Not only those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, but also those who because of injury are still suffering through a living hell. My great appreciation for those who have a special dedication and calling to defend and protect the United States of America. They deserve our highest honor and respect. Praying for the family members who lost loved ones. How difficult that must be.
As a young boy getting out of high school I was torn about the military. The VietNam war was not only winding down, but a peace deal was in place. Having heard the horrors of that undeclared war and the suffering it caused probably shaped me more than I knew at the time. My best friend and I almost joined the Air Force. We definitely thought long and hard about it. In the long run we decided it was not our life choice. Looking back I wonder how different I would have been if that decision had been made to sign up. We just never know….
The old adage is correct that they are only two people who would die for others, Jesus Christ and the American soldier. The Bible says “that scarcely for a righteous man will one die, yet perhaps for a good man some would even dare to die.” Jesus did that for us, He died even for those who hated Him and despised Him. One brought us everlasting life and the other paid a price they did not owe. Thank you! We are safer today and have a country that even with it’s problems is still the greatest country in the world. Our freedoms and liberties are safe guarded by those who today serve and defend those who really don’t deserve such dedication.
For all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice, we salute you and honor your memory. May the Lord bring comfort and peace to all families who lost a loved one. Your sacrifice is not forgotten. Rh
Memorial Day
Today is a day to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for love and freedom of America! A day to honor those who died as it were with their boots on fighting to defend our way of life. Faith, freedom, and family. Thank you! Below is an excerpt from Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin, a true American hero and patriot. Rh
Ret. Army Lt. Gen. Jerry Boykin says:
Now, if you stop and think about it, what Memorial Day is all about is honoring those that gave the last full measure, honoring those who died fighting for this country. If young adults really knew what a sacrifice that has been made by those men and women that have stepped up and said, ‘Here am I—send me’ by giving their lives in service to this country, they would certainly have more pride.
Sadly, the reason is most millennials have never been taught anything except what is wrong with our country, how our heroes were not only flawed but hopelessly evil. Yet America is the only nation that fought a Civil War to right the wrong of slavery, and that cost the lives of over 650,000 men. See, the truth is for more than 244 years, American men and women have given their lives to a cause greater than themselves—the cause of liberty. When we lose sight of what that cause is, there’s no reason to make such a costly sacrifice, no longer a need to be patriotic, no longer a need to celebrate Memorial Day. So it is on us to pass on to the next generation what Memorial Day is all about. In fact, Ronald Reagan spoke these memorable words to the Phoenix Chamber of Commerce on March 30, 1961:
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children’s children what it was once like in the United States where men were free.[2]
“I Saw You Wallowing and Said ‘Live in Your Blood’” by Ariel Schneider
I hope you enjoy this article, Israel is celebrating Israel’s Memorial and Remembrance Day. It is truly important to remember and look back on events that shape our thoughts and destiny. Article below. Rh
Remembrance is in the genetic code of the Jewish people. Without supervision and adherence to memory the sheep, the people of Israel, would never have survived the wolves and nations of the world. A Jewish proverb: Remembrance and commemoration determine who we are and our relationship with God. “I said to you in your blood live,” writes the prophet Ezekiel.
Without memory we would have no God, faith and everything that makes us who we are. Which is really more important, physical participation in God’s biblical legislation on Mount Sinai, or remembrance? Some of you will probably think that the opportunity to be at Mount Sinai is more important, but no, the memory is more important because it keeps the idea and the belief alive. What use is a live recording of God’s covenant on Mount Sinai if this sensation in the desert had not been reported for generations? Therefore, remembrance and commemoration play an important role in Israel’s life.
Tonight begins Memorial Day. From my point of view, there is no day more holy as we remember those who fell. Yom Hazikaron.
As a Conservative Christian I stand with Israel and the Jewish people. Please pray for the peace of Jerusalem, they are in the most desperate condition since the “67 war. Shalom to Jerusalem! “memory is more important because it keeps the idea and the belief alive.”
Federal Agencies Celebrate Pride, Ignore Memorial Day Suzanne Bowdey
If you’re wondering where America’s heroes rank on Joe Biden’s list of priorities, try below the rainbow flag. While federal agencies have been tripping over themselves to pledge allegiance to LGBT activism, two couldn’t be bothered to recognize the fallen troops who make our freedom possible. Despite a government-wide tweet-fest over Pride Month, the Departments of Justice and Treasury managed to ignore Memorial Day altogether.
Family Research Council’s executive vice president, Lt. General (Ret.) Jerry Boykin could only shake his head at the administration’s tunnel vision. “It’s astounding that any government agency would refuse to acknowledge and honor the military men and women who died fighting for this country. We see this administration setting aside an entire month to recognize and celebrate with the LGBT community, while at the same time, we have a large number of homeless veterans and others with severe disabilities and PTSD. When are we going to set aside a designated period of time to help them?”
