Uniquely American - A Memorial Day Tribute to Veterans
Memorial Day is unique to Americans of all ages. We pause and think about the sacrifices of men and women through the years to preserve our freedoms.
Soldiers young and old fought on a battlefield paying the ultimate price- laying down their lives.
In New York there is the Statue of Liberty which stands as a symbol for all who enter our nation, America, the land of the free and home of the brave. Freedom and liberty is why our military forces fought and died in many wars.
There is another statue on a hillside in Israel, where Jesus laid down his life for the souls of men and women - the cross - the symbol of our spiritual freedom.
On this Memorial Day, 2011 let us be thankful for the American soldier, brave, strong and true - protecting our country and guarding our freedoms.
Let us also be thankful for a Savior who likewise protects us and guarantees our freedom from sin.
