Remember the Fallen

Too often I think we forget that we live in a Free Country. Too often people take that for granted. Too many spit on the job that our Armed Forces do because they do not fully understand what is at stake. I get tired of the big hoopala over the death of a celebrity. They may have made contributions to our music, our movies, our entertainment. However, many have become unfit to be a role model. I may get slammed for this, but I'm not saddened by the loss of a celebrity. I'm saddened when we lose a "real hero," a "real role model," who died in the service or was a former servant to protecting freedom. We too often forget to pay the proper respect they deserve. They are our true friend, for they laid their lives on the line for us. This video is awstriking! Georgia has the right idea on how to honor the fallen for our country. Perhaps we all need to take part in a funeral of someone whom has been returned to our God to put their duty to rest.
