Last year on Memorial Day, I posted an article providing some information on the history and significance of this holiday. This year, I wanted to take an opportunity to recognize and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Though the statement, “Freedom is not free” is a bit of a cliché, it certainly contains much truth.
This Memorial Day, I encourage you to take a moment to consider the sacrifices that have been made in the name of America’s freedom. Since our nation’s inception, the men and women of our armed forces have been willing to lay down their lives so that we as individual citizens can continue to enjoy the many freedoms that are such a hallmark of American life. Our nation is facing challenges that may seem unprecedented and overwhelming at times. Despite the challenges, the freedoms enjoyed by every American citizen are steadfast and unwavering thanks to the valiant sacrifices of our nation’s military, past and present.
Take a moment today to pause and reflect on our freedoms. And thank those who made the ultimate sacrifice.
