Lest We Forget

This morning after reading the article titled "The Victory of the Cross by " Newt Gingrich, Callista Gingrich, and Vince Haley, the words "Lest We Forget" crossed my mind. Read the article here.

I'll have to admit that I was not thinking of Veterans' Day at the time. I googled those words and found the following beautiful poem.

LEST WE FORGET

God to-day
Shield with Thy wings the many, far
away;
Soothe those who watch and wait
and do each task
With brave hands working, while
their brave lips pray.


LILLIAN CARD

Later in the day, a good friend reminded me that it was Veterans' Day tomorrow (November 11). Then I searched further on the Internet and found the following You Tube, titled "In Flanders Fields - Lest We Forget". It is very appropriate for Veteran's Day.





The same friend invited me to attend a Veteran’s Day ceremony tomorrow. I decided to attend with him, and another vet, in honor of the men and women who serve and have served our country in the armed services. I'm embarrassed to say that I've never gone to such a ceremony before.

“Lest we forget” may you and I NEVER FORGET again. God willing, I will attend next year too.

Let Freedom Ring

It troubles me that so many today seem to hate the United States and the things it stands for. It's sad that so many young people know so little about history. I wish schools would show the following video. It's simple, but powerful.

Please watch it and pass it on.
