Dear Friends,
Yesterday as my nine-year-old granddaughter and
I were planting little American flags in our front lawn, I asked her if she
knew why we were doing it.
She didn't seem to be real sure, so I told her
as best as I could that we were doing it as a way of remembering all those
fallen soldiers who died to preserve our freedom.
I am not sure how much of what I said
sunk in, but as we talked, I found myself wondering how many of those in our
nation really understand or appreciate the significance of Memorial Day.
This past Friday I sent out a Leadership
Thought reminding us of ways we can celebrate today, and if you didn't read it,
I hope you will.
Please don't let apathy or indifference steal
away the sacredness of this day.
Enjoy the day with your family and friends,
but don't let your celebrations overshadow the reason you gather for each of us
is called to care for each and every soldier who fought to preserve the
freedoms we enjoy.
Yours in faith and
friendship.
Tom
