Memorial Day 2016

Please remember those that gave the  ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.  Memorial Day is a federal holiday for remembering the people who died while serving in the country's armed forces.  Abraham Lincoln wrote this letter to a woman who lost two sons in battle on  November 21, 1864.

I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the alter of freedom.
