Behind my twin brother Opal’s flat tombstone at the Granby, Missouri Cemetery is another stone placed by the USA Military, honoring his service during the Vietnam War. I have the triangular-folded flag given to my mom at the grave site. A survey of the cemetery will reveal others who served, some making the ultimate sacrifice for freedom.
We should never forget the cost of freedom. We should never forget our heritage -- where we came from and the roots that shaped our lives. Many of us were rooted in Jesus Christ.
There’s an empty tomb outside Jerusalem, a ways from the blood-stained cross of Calvary. On Memorial Day I don’t have to go to Jerusalem and look into the tomb to know that Jesus is alive. I will never forget, because He lives within my heart.
Matthew 28:5 And the angel answered and said unto the women, Fear not ye: for I know that ye seek Jesus, which was crucified. [6] He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay.
