Heavenly Father, on this memorial day I would just like to come before the throne and ask your blessings on all of the active and inactive military prersonnel in our fine country. I would ask your blessings on the families who will remember today their loved ones who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. I ask that we may all take a moment out of our lives today to honor those who have given their life in service of this country, Father most of all I ask that you just lift up and wrap your loving arms around each and every person to whom this will be a day filled with sadness and bittersweet memories. May you bring them peace and the comfort that can only come from you. Heavenly father I lift these petitions up to you in the precious name of Jesus
What a great petition to our Lord. I prayed with you as I read it again. Thank you for the reminder.
Hugh,
I join in your prayer, and wish you and your family a Happy Memorial Day!!! Thanks, Fran
Hugh ~ That was a beautiful prayer of faith and love.

Today we all should fly the American flag with pride . This is the greatest country on the planet because of those who have died to keep it free. May God bless all who have given the ultimate sacrifice for US!

The bloodied sun sinks in the west
And lights us all with glory;
Here sleep the brave in honored rest;
The bugler tells our story;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
Go tell the people, passer-by,
Read the stone before ye,
Tis sweet and fitting that we die
For our country's glory;
Obedient to your will we lie
Pro patria mori;
O dulce et decorum est pro patria mori.
From under stone we've often seen
These lures to empty glory;
We know what deaths these words can mean,
Lonely, cold and gory;
We find these Latin words obscene,
Pro patria mori,
O dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori.
We have no country of our own,
We who sleep in glory;
We died your hatreds to atone,
Still you shun our story;
Oh write no more on any stone,
Pro patria mori;
O dulce et decorum est, pro patria mori.

This is a poem I enjoy reading and has such meaning on a special day like today. Hope you enjoy it. Happy Memorial Day.
God Bless.
In Flanders Fields
by John McCrae
In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky,
The larks, still bravely singing, fly,
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead.
Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved and now we lie,
In Flanders Fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw,
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us, who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders Fields
Wonderful, Hugh...wonderful!!! We certainly wish our military the best and remember those who have given their lives.
