The upcoming Memorial Day weekend dovetails
perfectly with the recent trip my husband and I took to Northern Virginia to
visit our son and his family. Joseph recently retired from the military and completed
his Masters of Science Degree in cyber security. The graduation was held May 13.
The University of Maryland campus is beautiful, and the whole day was so
special.

| Congrats, Joe, on your 4.0! |
Sunday, we celebrated Mother’s Day, and Monday,
my husband--also retired military--and I drove to Arlington National Cemetery
where my parents are buried. Their gravesite overlooks the Pentagon where my
father worked when I was a child.
On each trip to the cemetery, we always stop at
the Tomb of the Unknowns for the changing of the guard, which occurs on the
half-hour. The remains of service members from World War I and II, as well as
the Korean War and Vietnam are buried at the site. The inscription on the central,
white marble sarcophagus reads, “Here rests in honored glory an American
soldier known but to God.”
Arlington Cemetery was established in 1864 on
the grounds of Robert E. Lee’s estate and covers 624 acres with approximately
400,000 gravesites. Visiting
the cemetery is always poignant and a powerful reminder of the valiant men of
women who have sacrificed so much for our country so we can remain “the land of
the free and the home of the brave.”
God bless our military heroes and God bless
the USA!
Wishing you a wonderful Memorial Day weekend,

AMISH REFUGE
By Debby Giusti
HIDDEN IN PLAIN SIGHT
Miriam Miller barely escapes the ruthless
attacker that killed her mother and kidnapped her sister. Running deeper into
the woods, she’s running out of hope…until she falls into the arms of an
unlikely bodyguard—a peaceful Amish farmer. Something about Abram Zook inspires
her trust, but even in bucolic Willkommen, Georgia, Miriam faces danger. Both
from the men pursuing her and from her growing feelings for the caring—though
guarded— widower who protects her. Because if she falls for Abram she’ll have
to embrace his Amish faith as her own—or lose him. With each minute, her
abductor creeps closer, pushing Miriam to an inevitable choice: stay and risk
her heart…or leave and risk her life.
