Because of your sacrifice we have freedom! We live in a great country, because of your selfless acts. You have painted a beautiful picture of what Christ did for us, "While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8) Again, I think we forget or we don't fully understand what our lives would be like without the fight. Without you I might not be able to:

• Vote
• Teach my children at home
• Worship the one and only True Living God.
• Work outside the home
• Obtain a great education
• Have anything I want at my fingertips
• Own a gun
• Own our house
• Defend myself in court
• Adopt
• Have medical options
• The freedom to say whatever I want, and you get the freedom to disagree.

Thank you times a million. On this Memorial Day I will teach my children, I will pray, and I will praise God for our military, our government, our freedoms, and my family!
