How does one say "thank you" to those who have sacrificed
their lives for our country and our freedom?
We can remember them.

We can pray for them.
"Greater love hath no man than this,
that a man lay down his life for his friends."
John 15:13
A gorgeous image but how difficult to think about the volumes of men and women. I don't know how one says thank you, perhaps honoring them brings some comfort to their families and friends!!
ReplyDeleteIt is almost something that can't be thanked enough because it seems overwhelming and just couldn't give the right amount of thanks. I guess spending the day thinking about what not only the person gave but also the loved ones is a good start. I was very lucky to not have had the experience this first hand but I do give thanks to all that serve to protect us. From out armed forces to the police and firefighters are all so brave. Wonderful image Cathy, and try and stay cool. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd perhaps we can pray that humans will one day figure out how to resolve their differences without going to war and killing one another. But I'm afraid I don't hold out much hope for that one ever happening.
ReplyDeleteVery Thoughtful. Thanks for posting.
