Memorial Day is the last Monday in May that we Americans remember the men and women that have died while serving in the Armed Forces. For some it is the beginning of summer; a time we enjoy our kids being home, BBQ's on the patio, and even trips to the lake or beach.
There are Military families - the ones that get hit directly; and in some capacity that means most that deploy. Their sacrifices will forever hold a place in our country's heart, but it doesn't quite fill the void. There are soldiers who return from Iraq and Afghanistan (and other wars) but don't quite make it home from the battlefield; they too are broken. Their struggle doesn't necessarily involve burn units or crutches, but if we could somehow provide a prosthetic for the human soul that could solve it all perhaps.
As you go about this weekend enjoying your family and friends I ask that you say a prayer for those that have inner struggles as well as physical wounds.
God Bless America!
