MEMORIAL DAY SERVICE

Our Heavenly Father, today we honor those who gave the most important thing we all have OUR LIVES, for our Freedom! There are many other hardships they had to endure, as other combat Veterans know only too well. We all take things for granted like a warm bed to sleep in. They slept in muddy trenches of WW 1,the bloody beaches of WW 2,the cold hard ground of Korea and the rice paddies of Vietnam. I could go on and on, but I hope you've gotten the picture. I ask all to remember them the next time you think that you have rough, think of those great Americans called AIRMEN,MARINES, SAILORS & SOLDIERS. Please never forget what those we honor today gave up and what we enjoy today. We all have Freedom and life. So we ask you our Father to look over them, as they are the best of what Americans were and should be! As we go our separate ways I ask one small favor. Keep them in the back of your mind and please save a little space to always remember the price they paid for us. Lets take good care of what they died for! May GOD bless them and those here for taking the time to remember and honor them. Amen Chaplain Howard Flexer Vietnam War Veterans Flagstaff & memorial NOTE: this will always be the land of the free so long as it is the home of the brave!
