Our debt to the Heroic men and Valiant women in the service of our country can never be repaid . They have earned our undying gratitude. America will never forget their sacrifices
(President Harry S. Truman)
During these days of many trials and tribulations that our land of the free are facing, let us remember to hold our heads up high in remembrance for those who gave their life for our freedom and those that are still in harms way for this cause. Pray for the brokenhearted and proclaim victory for those who are held captive. Lord, You are the light of the world and we declare You to be Lord over every nation. We know your light shines in darkness and the darkness does not always comprehend, but we also know You light will always prevail. Amen.

I was that which others did not want to be, I went where others feared to go,
And did what others failed to do.
I asked nothing of those that gave nothing And reluctantly accepted the thought of
Eternal loneliness … should I fail.
I have seen the face of terror, Felt the stinging cold of fear, and enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.
I have cried, felt pain, and hoped…
But most of all, I have lived times others would say are best forgotten.
At least someday I will be able to say that I was proud of what I was…
