Memorial Day Reflection and Life
This Memorial Day has come and gone. I thought about my deceased Father and Grandfather. Dad served in WWII and my Grandfather fought in the trenches in WWI. I still have their uniforms and my grandfather’s WWI gas mask and helmet.
Memorial Day brings special memories for me as it does millions of Americans. I think about what my Father and Grandfather and their fellow soldiers fought for. I also think about the unborn innocent lives killed in the womb since Roe V. Wade and how we as a Nation have disregarded these lives.
For comparison consider that approximately 1,309,000 Americans have died in service since the beginning of our nation (www.militaryfactory.com) and since 1980 approximately 46,500,000 lives have been aborted (www.abortionfacts.com). That is quite an alarming statistic, 1.3 million since the Revolutionary War compared to 46.5since the 1980’s.
God bless the 1,309,000 service men and women who sacrificed to keep our Nation free. And God bless the 46,500,000 lives that have been aborted within our Nation’s borders. Makes one wonder what were our soldiers fighting and dying for then and what are they fighting and dying for now.
