In Honor of the men & women & children who believed in freedom enough to endure hardships.People who have lived sacrificially,rising above their personal wants & needs to pursue a vision of "a nation under God".

They gave out of abundance.

They gave out of want.

They gave of their time.

They gave of the very dearest they had to give.

A Nation was being birthed in the united hearts & souls of men working together in a common cause.Living & dying,freely,that others might gain the freedom they had longed for.A Nation birthed through prayer & tears & blood.

It is a good thing to remember that long ago vision,to remind ourselves of the men who believed that we would be a Nation indivisible as each man,woman & child sought to serve,obey & love God. I hope you are proud to be an American today & still find an undivided strength in seeking to serve,love & obey the God of our Nation. Take a pause to reflect & offer a prayer for those today who are willingly sacrificing their personal freedom for others.Join with me,in still saying "God bless the United States of America" & may her flag proudly wave.
