Memorial Day was yesterday, a day to pay our respects to those that we may not have known, who gave their life for the freedoms that we enjoy every day! A debt that we can never ever repay! We, being my family, were at the funeral of our uncle yesterday! He was a Korean War Vet, & they played taps at his graveside service! Here are the words that go with A bugle call! They are worth pondering, & even more thanking those in uniform for our safety that evil is working so hard to take from us!
—“Put out the lights, go to sleep. Day is done, Gone the sun, From the lake, From the hill, From the sky. All is well, Safely rest, God is nigh.” —In January 1866, the Ladies’ Memorial Association in Columbus, Georgia, passed a motion agreeing that they would designate a day to throw flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers both confederate & union alike! Because they were all lost children of a mother somewhere! — We all have our safety because God is nigh meaning near! Our God uses people, & the people that are in uniform are under tremendous pressure these days, so take the time to say thanks When & where you can! Love Mel
