Memorial Day
May 26, 2008 by Lillie
ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen.

may they all rest in peace. we’re not smart enough to declare there’s something worth dying for.
Vaughn,
I think most people are smart enough to know there are things worth dying for. We’re just not all brave enough or selfless enough to be willing to do so.
On this Memorial Day in the year of our Lord 2008, a few thoughts cross my mind that I’d like to share. Over the years, many many of my American brethren have made the supreme sacrifice in addition to huge amounts of our treasure, for the sake of this country and for the sake of many other countries. For this we celebrate Memorial Day to honor our fallen heroes. One particular occurrence comes to mind to remind us of a major event in world history. And it’s depicted in this short presentation on the World Wide Web.

May God bless every one of you.
Jack,
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and this site.
Mr Hayden: …but the fact remains they did die for something, the importance of which and whether it was “worth dying for” is only known to the beholder.
John Stuart Mill said: “A man who has nothing which he is willing to fight for, nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety, is a miserable creature who has no chance of being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.”
I think only great man was able to die for their country.

I agree. All our military – and the militaries of other peace-loving countries – are great men and women. They risk their lives so the rest of us can live in freedom.
they are the real men of the country. to die for their nation.
Every people, saving their own country should be respected…
Absolutely. I wrote about those who died for the United States because it was our Memorial Day. But I respect anyone who fights for their country.
Yes..I respect all those who love their country and sacrifice their lives.
Everyone who sacrifices – or even risks – their lives for their country deserves respect and gratitutde.
I really respect all those who fought for us or are fighting for our freedom. Keeping there lives in risks so that all other in the country can live peacefully.
Marc,
Those who risk their lives for peace and freedom deserve our respect and appreciation.
They died for a honorable cause and for that they are honored. Rest in peace.
