Memorial Day was a time to reflect on all those who have served our country to give us the freedoms we enjoy. I watched the ceremonies on TV that paid tribute to the men and women who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. It made me proud to be an American. I feel so blessed to live in the United States.
We have so many freedoms in this country. We often take these freedoms for granted until we think we may lose them. More and more, it seems like the government is trying to infringe on our freedom.
I think back to when I was in elementary school. Every morning, we would stand and say the Pledge of Allegiance. We prayed at lunchtime. At Christmas, we would gather in the hallway and sing Christmas carols.
Now, these things have come under attack. Teachers can't even mention God without fear of a lawsuit. How sad is it when people object to the Pledge of Allegiance because of the words "under God." This country has been so blessed because of God's goodness. How can people just ignore that?
We must fight to protect our freedoms. We can't let the government or the atheist groups or anyone else come in and take away our rights. The men and women who served our country fought too hard and paid too great a price for us to let our freedoms slip away.
I am thankful for the military men and women who are fighting today to protect our freedom. Their sacrifice is great. They deserve our support and our prayers. And let's remember their families, too.
May God continue to bless America!
