Dear Friends,
I hope you have had a good week.
This email was sent to me on Monday by a Christian agency that keeps me up on current event in the US and lets me know how I can help make a difference. It includes some quotes by our presidents that were inspirational and I wanted to share.
I have also included a devot. that caught my eyes and a swet military family reunion that rought tears to my eyes.
Lord bless you and yours this weekend!
Devot.

"Memorial Day remains one of America's most cherished patriotic observances. The spirit of this day has not changed - it remains a day to honor those who died defending our freedom and democracy." Congressman Doc Hastings (Ret)
On the very first Decoration Day in 1868, President James Garfield stood before an audience of 5,000 and paid tribute to the fallen heroes whose headstones, decorated with flowers, stood upright behind him as a testament to their sacrifice. He solemnly acknowledged, "For love of country they accepted death, and thus resolved all doubts, and made immortal their patriotism and their virtue."
A century later Decoration Day became Memorial Day, decreed by federal law in 1967.
Since the birth of our nation nearly 240 years ago, men and women have sacrificed their lives for our country to preserve the God-given liberties that are enshrined in our Constitution.

Memorial Day gives all of us an opportunity to honor America's heroes, to recall their sacrifice and courage and to respect the selflessness of their ultimate sacrifice. We owe them this respect and debt of gratitude.
I urge you to take time today to honor the memory and families of veterans "lest they be forgotten."
As Abraham Lincoln is attributed with saying, "[T]he nation which fails to honor its heroes, the memory of its heroes, whether those heroes be living or dead, does not deserve to live, and it will not live."
Also, please say a prayer for our active military personnel who are engaged in conflicts around the world or performing their assigned duties here at home. Thank you.
God bless you, God bless America, and God bless our service men and women and their families!
