Memorial Day (May 26, 2008)

Hello, I served in the military from 1985 to 1995. I would like to dedicate this post to our military serving around the world and defending our families. I was stationed in Norfolk, VA and served aboard 3 ships, I also did a 3 year tour in Iceland.

I would like for everyone who reads this post to take a moment to pause and say a prayer for our military. We need to remember those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. Those who have fallen to protect us, those who have served and those who are serving. The men and women serve to give us the right to be free, to serve and worship God our way. They serve to protect us and defend the United States of America. If you know someone in the military or see a military person give them a Thank You and make their day.

We need to also pray for the families of our service members. I will tell you that sometimes the stress on the family of a serving military person is greater than you can imagine. The spouse of a military member has a tough job taking care of the home front. Please remember them as well when you pause to pray.

Today’s Prayer: Dear Lord, I ask that you comfort those serving in the United States Armed Forces and protect them. Give them strength to defend the United States, keep the safe and healthy. I pray for the military families that you give them peace in their heart, comfort them and keep them safe. Amen

Thank you to all our military personnel and may God be with you and your families!

God Bless,

Lon & Becky
