Thank you for giving your life for our freedom.
We all know that Memorial Day is a day set aside to honor American military members who have died, whether in battle or after returning home. (Veterans' Day, November 11, honors the living who have served.) We also know that without our brave military, from the Minutemen of the American Revolution to the Navy Seals of today, we would not have great nation that is the United States, a beacon of freedom to the entire world. So this weekend let's be sure to take time and remember and honor those who have died. But don't mourn these fallen military men and women.
Thank God that such heroes lived.
Here's a picture of my father, William Douglas Jacobs, who served in the U. S. Navy at the end of World War I and in the Merchant Marines during World War II. Born in 1903, he died in 1990, and his ashes were scattered on Puget Sound by the Navy. I still miss you, Dad. You weren't just brave in the Navy, you were brave all through life. Louise M. (Jacobs) Gouge
Both parents were in the Army, medical corp during Korean War. Mom 2nd Lt., Dad a private. From Leann Harris

ReplyDeleteHow blessed our country is to have had those willing to pay the price for our freedom. Today I'm especially remembering my precious Daddy, who served in the Korean War and WWII.
