As this writer drove from the east towards Orleans, Nebraska today, he viewed the most beautiful and touching sight. Ahead of me app. 100 American flags were waving in the blowing winds. They surrounded the entire cemetary. He regrets he can't share a picture. When he drove into the cemetary he was reminded of the veterans that have fought for our freedom. Each veteran that had died had a small flag by his or her grave. He was told there was around a hundred small flags.
This writer forgets many times of the sacrifices that were made for us to have freedom. Many veterans gave their lives for us.
Pastor Bill Bills spoke before the crowd with a message that will remain with us. He reminded us that our service men and women gave up so much so that we can enjoy the many freedoms we have in the United States. He mentioned that because of their extreme sacrifices, "we have political freedom, economic freedom and mostly the freedom to worship."
Think about what we might endure each day if we didn't have these freedoms. We should never ever take them for granted. We must continue to thank those that made the sacrifices for us to have freedom. We must continue to fight for our freedom so that we never lose it. Ignoring a world that threatens our freedom will be a huge mistake. Thank you veterans!! Thank you for those that are living and thank you for those that lost their lives!!!
