Memorial Life

Today we celebrate memorial day. We honor and remember all those who served and lost their life for our wonderful country. We may not know any of these people but chances our they were friends, family, brothers, sisters, mothers, fathers, sons, and daughters.  We thank them by celebrating how ever we choose because we have the freedom to do so, thanks to them. Pope John Paul II had this to say about freedom, "Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought."  We should be grateful each day and honor these men and women with our lives just as they have given their lives for us.  It is very Christian-like to give of yourself in order to achieve a greater good, just take a peak at a crucifix.
