“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave. “ - Elmer Davis

Exodus 12:14 ESV

John 15:12-13 NKJV

As a Country, we should remember and be grateful for the precious freedoms we have enjoyed over the course of our country’s history because there were so many who risked it all and those who paid the ultimate price.

As a Society, we should remember and be grateful for the lives we have been able to live in safety because of those who placed their life in jeopardy and those who lost their lives to secure that safety for the rest of us.

As a Nation, we should remember and be grateful for the harmony we can have with other nations because of the many who have placed themselves in harm's way and those who have died in defeating evil rulers and bringing freedom to the people they were oppressing.

As Individuals, we should especially remember and honor family members, friends, loved ones and buddies who have been killed in not only our nation’s military actions, but also emergency responders – police, fire, rescue, and medical personnel who have died in the line of duty. We have not forgotten them and we honor them.

Romans 5:8 NKJV
