It is real easy to just think of this holiday as just a great kick off to the summer. At times in the recent years it has kind of lost its glamor of the past. Years ago I was far from home during this holiday. It held a special place in my heart then. I was hoping that what I was doing would help the people of Vietnam have the same thing. That never happened. It was kind of like finding out Santa was not real. I still can see the desperation of the people when they realized their dream was lost.
People forget the real cost of freedom. It is the blood, sweat and tears of the men/women that fight for the freedom of us all. It is not some fancy speaker at some rally or service. It is not some rich man"s money. It is the personal payment from those that protect what we have come to take for granted.
I often think about what our ancestors did when they won Independence from England. The fact is that a bunch of common people fought and won their freedom from the strongest nation in the world. Many everyday folk, farmers and labors where willing to pay for that freedom with their lives. Can you see that happening today?????
So PLEASE teach the youth of today about the real meaning and cost of freedom. May God bless all of those that are currently protecting us. Plus at of those that have done so in the past.
