In Remembrance and honor to those brave men and women who have served our country to keep us free and to those that continue to sacrifice each and every day for America,
we give our heartfelt thankfulness.
As we celebrate our nations hero's, let us give thanks for their military dedication and safety. We can never be thankful enough to those that serve America, but we can lift our prayers for them each and everyday. When you see a military person, take a moment and say thank you. The encouragement will honor them as they realize people care and remember.
My Father Joseph, fought for this country in WWII on
Omaha Beach in Normandy France.
He used to say, "I wouldn't give you a nickle for my experiences, but, I wouldn't sell them for a million dollars either"
Words from a proud and glad to serve, American! I dedicate this Memorial Day to him and the bravery he carried as he jumped off the ship and swam to land on Omaha Beach with his fellow soldiers. God was with him that day as he ran forward to defend America.
When I saw the movie, Saving Private Ryan, I realized for the first time, what he must have faced that day. I thought, Wow Dad needs to see this movie. Then I realized, he doesn't need to see this, He was there! It just gave me chills.
Whatever your long weekend plans, enjoy, be safe and REMEMBER!
Happy Memorial Day
Hugs,
Celestina Marie
