Today we honor the men and women from the beginning of time who sacrificed their time and lives protecting you and me.
Psalms 144:1 ESV “Of David. Blessed be the Lord, my rock, who trains my hands for war, and my fingers for battle.”
Our society today rises up and proclaims to be anti-war! I’m not a warmonger, but where would we be right now without our histories mighty battles. Scream, carry signs, yell for peace, but you have the freedom to do so because of those who fought and laid down their lives for you!!! Don’t ever forget that!!!
Those little old men shuffling along in the parades, proudly wearing their uniforms, displaying medals and stars that tell of their once bravery. There was a day not long ago these little old gents were some mean lean fighting machines. They weren’t 90 and above in Germany, Italy or Japan. They weren’t 70 or 80 in Vietnam. They were young, trained and mighty warriors.
The nightmares still ravage these defenders of you and me, who shuffle and wear their veteran’s hats proudly atop their gray crowns. They deserve our love, respect, gratitude, help, and comfort in their later days. These men and women deserve a Heisman Mansion.
Psalms 71:9 NIV “Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone.”
Job 12:12 NIV “Is not wisdom found among the aged? Does not long life bring understanding.”
Leviticus 19:32 ESV “Show respect to old people; stand up in their presence. Show respect also to your God. I am the Lord.”
So, the next time you see one of our prestigious soldiers, whether of today or yesterday, offer them a smile, a salute, a nod of gratitude because where would we be without them. Thank you, Veterans, young and old; I am forever indebted to you! Be blessed today, and Thank you for spending a little time in Sunshine. ☀️❤️☺️
