Heaven is a Safer Place with America"s Soldiers

On this Memorial Day, I want everyone to take a moment, drop to their knees and thank God for the over one million three hundred thousand men and women, of this great nation, who gave the ultimate sacrifice. As the call went forth, they have left their homes and families to protect America. These young men and women went where they were asked  to go and carry out their orders. They fought valiantly from the minutemen at Concord, to the charge up San Juan Hill. They carried forth through Germany, in the war to end all wars. They slugged their way from Normandy, right into Berlin. They froze, but continued during the "police action" in Korea. The American service men and women waded through the swamps and rice fields in Vietnam and Cambodia. On to the deserts in Iraq and the harsh terrain in Afghanistan. They lived in duty as they died in honor. We must honor them by not giving up on the American promise. They must not die in vain. We must remember their faces. They were sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives and mothers and fathers. They cried as their arms surrounded their loved ones for the last time. They did not know, nor did their families, that this would be the last embrace they would share. They would die alone in some far away place. Would they have still gone knowing this? Yes, because American soldiers have never turned away from duty. So on this day while you are on your knees, let God know that he is safer in heaven because the valiant soldiers of  America are at his side and ask him to bless each and every one of them.
