Memorial Day

In Loving Memory

By Joanna Fuchs

On every soldier’s tombstone

should be a message of honor, respect and love:

"In loving memory

of one who loved his country,

who fought against evil

to preserve what is right and true and good.

In loving memory

of one who is a cut above the rest of us,

who had the surpassing courage,

the uncommon strength,

to do whatever had to be done,

persevering through hardship and pain.

In loving memory

of one who was brave enough

to give his life, his all,

so that those he cared about

would remain safe and free.

In loving memory

of a unique and treasured soldier

who will never be forgotten."

Memorial Day...

Normally we feature an organizational tip or two on Mondays. But with today being Memorial Day, we felt that it would be a good to stop and think about what today really stands for.

While searching for the right words to post today, we ran across this poem and found it very suitable.

The Ultimate Sacrifice:

A Memorial Day Poem

We set aside Memorial Day

Each and every year

To honor those who gave their lives

Defending what we hold dear.

In all the dark and deadly wars,

Their graves prove and remind us,

Our brave Americans gave their all

To put danger far behind us.

They made the ultimate sacrifice

Fighting for the American way;

We admire them and respect them

On every Memorial Day.

By Joanna Fuchs

We'd like to say thank you to those that have served and to those that continue to serve our great Nation. Without you, our lives wouldn't be as they are today. 

THANK YOU!
