Memorial Day

Today is a day set apart to honor those who have served and died for our country.

These 2 brave soldiers are very special to us and are sorely missed today (and every day!).

Daddy Loren (Our grandfather)

Uncle Jennings (Mama's brother)

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.  It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."  -Ronald Reagan


"Seek the peace of the city...and pray unto the Lord for it: for in the peace thereof shall ye have peace."  -Jeremiah 29:7


Peace is not the absence of conflict, but the presence of God during the conflict.

May God bless our great nation!
