In the Scriptures, Jesus tells us and then demonstrates to us that “there is no greater love than to lay down one’s life for another.” This Memorial Day, let each of us pause to honor those courageous men and women who also accepted that noble call to lay down their lives for others. Even though we know the names of those in our families who did just that, we obviously do not know the names of the thousands who also have done so. This Memorial Day honor them and pray for their souls. If possible, join me on Monday, May 27th at 10:00 a.m. in Brookdale Cemetery for the town’s annual Memorial Day Service. This is but one way we can honor those who sacrificed so much for us. I once read:
“They sacrificed their today for our tomorrow!”
