On this holy day, the day we draw nearer to our God and our Jesus, I find myself deeply moved this Memorial Day weekend. I hold a high regard and respect for men and women in uniform. I wanted to enlist in the Air Force after high school but my Dad asked my uncle to drive out and talk me out of it. I regret listening to him but because he was a Vietnam survivor, his word carried a lot more weight than my own ambition. Still...I wonder what trajectory my life would have taken?
In searching for meaning of this day, not just meaning of a soldier's death, I found this video. It's educational in nature but does not diminish the sacrifice of each life throughout history that made my freedom possible. I hope you take the time to watch this and include your children as well.
