Courage Demands Gratitude

Memorial Day (garyvarvel.com)

Dear Americans, while we enjoy our Memorial Day, may we not fail to remember those whose sacrifices paid for it. Those soldiers, firefighters, police officers and others whose sacrifices have secured the lives and freedoms of Americans and non-Americans alike.

“Courage is contagious. When a brave man takes a stand, the spines of others are stiffened.”

~Billy Graham

  2. Remembering three young uncles who lost their lives during WWII. Three brothers, farmers become pilots, lost during WWII. Junior Wilson’s P-40 exploded in training. He’s buried here in Iowa. Dan Wilson was MIA in his P-38, occupied Austria, buried in the Lorraine American Cemetery in France. Only God knows where Dale Wilson’s remains lie today, B-25 New Guinea. Ages 20, 21, and 22. My mother’s younger brothers. #fivebrothersservedonlytwocamehome

  6. Remembering my cousin Jeff, who died in Afghanistan and came home in a closed casket. I will never forget his funeral procession through the streets of Pittston. As we drove up to the church, the last two blocks were filled with military,firefighters,VFW members, and police. Saluting the casket limousine.
