Memorial Day Thoughts


On this solemn day – I’d like to reflect on the hundreds of thousands of soldiers who have bravely given their lives in defense of the United States and all it stands for. From the early days with General Washington and his Army in 1776 to modern times and the Global War on Terror, it is a long and distinguished history. Today we fight side by side with the Iraqi people in a struggle for freedom. There are forces that would like a dark curtain to remain over the people here, keeping them from seeing the light and looking past the fear. I pray our efforts result in a peaceful Iraq – soon.

Stars and Stripes lists the number of US dead in Iraq at 4,080 (Thurs 28 May 08). Pray for the families of those fallen comrades.

God grant us wisdom and strength to continue to do what is right.
