In the midst of our fellowship and fun today, stop and remember that Memorial Day is more than just a barbecue.  Today is a patriotic tribute to our fallen, the men and women who gave their lives so we might be free. It's a day we honor the dead, show our military families that America is behind them, and appreciate all they have done for us. I am so proud and thankful to be an American. I never want to forget the price that has been paid for my freedom ... in battle and times of peace, on the frontline or at home, in a manger or on the Cross of Calvary ... their is a great cost.  Thanking all of those who paid that price for me!
