Memorial Day 2015
Let Us Never Forget the Sacrifice of Those Who Died to Defend Our Freedoms
The heart of America is freedom – for ourselves and all nations willing to fight for it. Yes, the price is high, but freedom is a wealth no debt can encumber.
But what of the soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen whose blood has preserved liberty for our nation? They are all different, yet they share a sameness that is deeper than the uniform they wear. They are black, white, man, woman, Hispanic, Indian, Asian, Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, and a hundred other variations and combinations. What is most important – regardless of race, creed, color, or gender – is that they are Americans.
As we remember these brave warriors and their comrades in arms on this Memorial Day, we must look to the future, as well as the past. In today’s world, freedom comes cloaked in uncertainty. The cost of independence remains high, but we pay it with deep reverence and thanks. We know that in the years to come, more brave souls will be called upon to fight for our country and so that we may preserve our liberty and our American way of life. We include them in our thoughts and prayers this Memorial Day weekend.
