As we enjoy the freedoms secured by those who gave everything, let’s take time this Memorial Day to pause and remember. Whether through a moment of silence, attending a local ceremony, or sharing a Memorial Day quote, each act of remembrance helps ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten. This Memorial Day, may we all strive to live lives worthy of their sacrifice.

John 15:12-14 New King James Version
12 This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.
13 Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.
14 You are My friends if you do whatever I command you.
