Happy Memorial Day

M is for the MEMORY we have of those who put

their lives on the line to give us the freedom and privilege
of living in this blessed nation.

E is for the ENDURING gratitude we have for the sacrifices these men and women make for those who stayed at home.

M is for the MERIT we recognize in those who serve our nation when such service comes at such a high price.



O is for the OBEDIENCE we honor when those in uniform follow orders that may, and many times do, cost them their lives.

R is for the REVERENCE we give to the thoughts we have on this day, or any day, when we remember those who give so much.



I is for the INTEGRITY we salute when those in uniform stand up for all of us even when some of us do not stand up for them.

A is for the ALLEGIANCE we have to the nation that these brave warriors fight and die for.

L is for the LOVE that goes with those who are in harms way, and who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for you and me.
