Ronald Reagan said that our country is the shining beacon on
the hill but have you ever stopped to ask why
we are that beacon? Our country is the greatest nation the world has ever seen.
We are a country of individuals who swim upstream to accomplish the impossible.
We are a country driven by achievement but is also the most compassionate in
the world. There are two reasons our country is different and will remain the
shining beacon on the hill. First, our country is and has always been uniquely
blessed by God. Second, that blessing
and our prosperity are protected and sustained by the Sailors, Soldiers,
Marines, and Airmen who have voluntarily given their lives for the people of
our nation. The first of these comes freely from God; the second comes from the
sacrifice of the individuals who wrote a blank check for up to and including
their life.
Today is a day for family, friends, and remembrance. But
before your barbeques and fun take a moment to remember those who have served, those
who serve today, and those who died to guarantee our life, liberty, and pursuit
of happiness. Anchors Aweigh.
