Why We Call It 'Memorial Day'

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends (John 15:13)

As we go about our business enjoying a holiday weekend, let us not forget what this is ALL about... that great men and women of unquestionable courage, character and patriotism don a uniform and prepare to defend all we love and care for.

Most times, thank God, they come home to a grateful nation safe and sound. Other times, a horrible price is paid for what we are privileged to celebrate this weekend. God Bless All those called to serve and who answer that call with Courage.
