Freedom Is Not Free

I see a horrid cost of the Korean War when I watch “Mash”.

In 1964 while playing the piano for a gospel group, we shared the stage with a young quartet whose handsome base singer was leaving for Vietnam within a week. We heard he died shortly thereafter.

War is ugly. How do you adequately say “thank you” to those fighting and dying for their country? I don’t know.

We have freedom because many gave the ultimate sacrifice in it's defense. We honor them this Memorial Day.

John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.

Jesus died on a cross for us when we were His enemies because He loved us. Those who believe on him receive freedom from their sins.
