Memorial Day

While some may forget - like our District President with his news letter this morning - just take a minute to think of how many of our young men - and, to our damnation, some young women as well - have died in the service of our country.  

4,414 Allied dead on D-Day.

6,821 US dead in the Battle of Iwo Jima.

26,000+ dead in the 8th Air Force over Europe.

Some were committed to fighting in wars that directly impacted the future of our country and the free world.  Others were better men and women than the politicians and careerist military 'leaders' that led them to their fates.

I've said my piece on Obama's DOD time and again (1).  At least this Memorial Day we have a Commander in Chief who is dedicated to not wasting American lives in 'stupid little wars' for the benefit of billionaire megalomaniacs and their 'rules based world order' - whatever that was - or the Deep State and Israeli lobby. 

I pray and grieve for the families of the fallen.  I regularly thank God for not being a Gold Star family. 

And I thank God for the leadership He has given us this Memorial Day.
