This morning our mission President sent out a message about Memorial Day. Here is part…
“This weekend we should think about the extraordinary women and exceptional men who have gone before us – upon whose shoulders we are individually and collectively able to stand. We would be wise to remember that the only reason we can stand on the shoulders of such giants today is because they were willing to square their shoulders at critical moments. They didn’t shrink, they didn’t shirk their responsibility.
They answered the daring and clarion call of hope – then acted greatly. Will we?
The question of commitment is simple. As Lincoln asked – will each American take increased devotion to the principles that have fostered the greatest civilization the world has ever known? Will every citizen be so dedicated to the unfinished work and the task before us?
In these challenging times, communities need more highly resolved men and women who care about creating better neighborhoods and a better nation.
A wise man once said, “We honor best those who have gone before by living our lives with excellence today.”
On this Memorial Day all should reflect on the question, “Will I be as highly resolved to the principles of liberty and the cause of freedom as those who have gone before?” Being highly resolved is the beginning, for each of us, and all of us, to act greatly.”
To all the men and women and their families who sacrificed so much for our freedom. Thank you for your service♥️

Thank you for sharing that! it is beautiful and important. With all of the military people in my family
now deceased I’m far less dialed in to this than I used to be. In fact, I have spent most of Memorial Day in quiet circumstances, but I still did not adequately focus or even remember. Excellent reminder.
We miss you both!
LOVE to you
