Indeed! I had family in WW1, WW2, Korea, and the Vietnam War. Veterans deserve a big thank you every day, but especially with today being Memorial Day

May God bless the memory of all those who served and gave their lives, the ultimate sacrifice, in defense of the freedoms and liberties that we enjoy today. May we honor them with our gratefulness and never take these freedoms for granted…

"...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion..." - President Abraham Lincoln

A Nation’s Strength

What makes a nation's pillars high
And its foundations strong?
What makes it mighty to defy
The foes that ‘round it throng?

It is not gold. Its kingdoms grand
Go down in battle shock;
Its shafts are laid on sinking sand,
Not on abiding rock.

Is it the sword? Ask the red dust
Of empires passed away;
The blood has turned their stones to rust,
Their glory to decay.

And is it pride? Ah, that bright crown
Has seemed to nations sweet;
But God has struck its luster down
In ashes at His feet.

Not gold but only men can make
A people great and strong;
Men who for truth and honor's sake
Stand fast and suffer long.

Brave men who work while others sleep,
Who dare while others fly...
They build a nation's pillars deep
And lift them to the sky.

~R. W. Emerson
