Memorial Day, another Thanksgiving?

Fear of war time experiences is normal in all people, of all ages.   But there is uniqueness in the American soldier that causes one to rise to a level of courage that overcomes the fear.  That uniqueness is American patriotism.

Memorial Day is yet another Thanksgiving to me. While I will not celebrate the dying of young patriots, I am thankful that these young patriots indeed lived.  For where would America be today without having had these heroes live among us?  After all, one cannot give a life that has not lived first.

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.”    (John 15:13 KJV)
