Memorial Day Weekend 2012


This weekend, many of us are taking these three days to travel and visit with our long distance love ones. We will have great reunions, pick nicks and outings. You'll see many US Flags flying everywhere.

How many of us will pause and think about why we are actually celebrating this weekend? We have take a moment and stop and think why we're actually enjoying this weekend. We have to thank so many people who are no longer with us for sacrificing their lives for not only this weekend but for our Freedoms. These people have done this for us since before the beginning of our Nation.

They have done it for our Constitution, which is a plan, a diagram for our Freedoms and the opportunities that it provides each and everyone of us. These wonderful people died defending us from an unjust monarchy, a rebellion, fascism, communism, Islamofascism and tyrants the world over so that we could all benefit from the fruits of the Constitution, capitalism.

The Constitution provides a ripe environment that lets capitalism grow. This has brought about the greatest change to the world and we have been it's leader. The prosperity that we have had has been because of this system. I want us to take a moment this weekend to reflect on this simple fact. American men and women have paid the ultimate price to protect our Constitution, capitalism and our way of life. This wonderful nation would never have been a reality without their sacrifice. Capitalism would not have brought us more in a mere couple of centuries then our entire existence.

Thank You and God Bless.

Please also take a moment to say a prayer for those people who have a terrible wound to their hearts as many have perished in our War on Terror. May the Lord's gentle hand bring ease to these hearts full of pain and sorrow. That they know that we will not forget their sacrifice and will live the rest of our lives in their honor. Amen.
