Remember Our Defenders

 

"Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right." Abraham Lincoln

As a nation, we owe our veterans a huge debt of gratitude, and we must never forget the cautionary words President Coolidge said long ago, “The nation which forgets its defenders will itself be forgotten.” 

"The blessings of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness in a manner in which we choose has been fought for and, in some cases, died for by our veterans. Let us never forget their sacrifices over the course of our history, and let us be an example to others of what thankfulness and remembrance is supposed to be like. If we fail, we may imperil our nation and our future." - Mike Prendergast (retired U.S. Army colonel)

As we approach our national election day next week, let's take a moment to remember those who fought for the freedoms that we get to exercise by voting. 

God bless our veterans and their families, and God bless the United States of America.
