They were<br \/>\ncalled or volunteered to serve. They went<br \/>\nand answered the call on our behalf.<\/p>\n<p>Memorial day isn&#8217;t a time for us to voice our<br \/>\napproval or lack of approval about where they<br \/>\nserved. <strong>It is for US to remember THEM and lift<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> them up as heroes. For those who paid the<\/strong><br \/>\n<strong> ULTIMATE SACRIFICE on OUR BEHALF.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>For any of you who have lost family members in service<br \/>\nto this country, and to all of you who have served or<br \/>\nare currently serving in our armed forces &#8211; THANK YOU.<\/p>\n<p>We need to acknowledge the sacrifices that have been<br \/>\nmade by all those state-side and deployed all around<br \/>\nthe world. Pray for them. Pray for their families.<\/p>\n<p>Hundreds of thousands of lives have been exchanged for<br \/>\nour freedoms. Thousands and thousands more have<br \/>\nbeen wounded. Please take time to reflect on that<br \/>\nas you enjoy all the comforts of your life here and<br \/>\nhave the freedom to vote, to worship, to speak out,<br \/>\nto travel and to work.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A Personal Note:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>As an Air Force brat I was around our service men<br \/>\nand women all the time. My father was a dairy<br \/>\nfarmer turned fighter and bomber pilot who served in<br \/>\nWWII, Korea, South Pacific, etc. He finished his<br \/>\ncareer working on setting up the special requirements<br \/>\nfor the famous SR71 Black Bird reconnaissance plane.<\/p>\n<p>Today our place in the country is in the flight<br \/>\npath of Offutt AFB near Omaha, NE. Every time<br \/>\na plane flies over our place I pray for the fine<br \/>\nmen and women who are on that mission. And for<br \/>\nour other service folks supporting and protecting<br \/>\nus.<\/p>\n<p>Our church is at least 1\/2 military or ex-military<br \/>\nfamilies. I, along with the rest of my family,<br \/>\nhave nothing but a deep respect for all of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Freedom Isn&#8217;t Free:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Our freedom has been paid for over and over again<br \/>\nwith the blood of our brave men and women. Don&#8217;t<br \/>\ntake it for granted lest we loose it completely.<\/p>\n<p>Thank &#8217;em when you see &#8217;em. Encourage them. Lift<br \/>\nthem up and show them the respect they so deserve.<\/p>\n<p>Pray for them. Give them support. Suport the<br \/>\nfamilies of our service men and women, especially<br \/>\nthose who have loved ones deployed.<\/p>\n<p>Finally &#8211; pray for this country. We are in a most<br \/>\ndangerous time in the country and we are being<br \/>\nattacked is many different ways.<\/p>\n<p>It seems everywhere I look things seem like they&#8217;re<br \/>\nupside down. We call evil truth and truth evil.<\/p>\n<p>Moral standards and common sense seem to evade many.<br \/>\nWhat was once thought as disgusting is paraded<br \/>\nin the streets.<\/p>\n<p>It will take heroic efforts by God-fearing people<br \/>\nto restore this country. Don&#8217;t sit on the<br \/>\nsidelines and hope someone else will do what is<br \/>\nnecessary to preserve us. That&#8217;s EXACTLY what our<br \/>\nmany enemies, both outside and within this<br \/>\ngreat country, want us to do: Do nothing while<br \/>\neverything spirals downward.<\/p>\n<p>Lord bless you all.<\/p>\n<p>&#8212; Charlie<\/p>\n<p><strong>P.S<\/strong>.
