Memorial Day 2020

I have walked the Gardens of Stone that honor the men and women who gave their last full measure. The mettle possessed by those warriors still causes me to pause and give thanks. Physical freedom is bought with one currency … blood … and we all bleed the same color. Spiritual freedom is bought with one currency … the blood of the perfect Lamb. Sadly, today the freedoms secured in blood have faded in the tyranny of those who would deny us the speech and assembly for which that heavy price was paid. Let us renew or covenant with those who died, those who gave their lives for friends, family, and brothers-in-arms. “Live free or die. Death is not the greatest of evils.” – Gen. John Stark
