Memorial Day weekend.Many people look forward to the cooking out, playing outside, lake trips, enjoying family and friends, and officially starting summer vacation.
Marshall serves in the Marines and played drums in church yesterday. He was home for the holiday and served Westwood (his home church) by doing an outstanding job on the drums.
He came up with Pastor Dave and gave the opening greeting. His reminder on why we celebrate Memorial Day was emotional and very powerful. He was good friends with 6 Marines who died in the line of duty. If he would have stayed home, he said that he would be attending 6 different funerals or memorials in their honor. He reminded us to remember why we have Memorial Day and to remember the many people who have served and died for our country.
I am grateful for the freedoms that I have and I am thankful for people like Marshall who have the courage to stand up for my country.
