Memorial Day

"The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here."

It is for us, the living, rather to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they have, thus far, so nobly carried on. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they here gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation shall have a new birth of freedom; and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Remember, Freedom isn't Free, thousands have paid the price so you can enjoy what you have today.

If you don't stand behind our troops, PLEASE feel free to stand in front of them!

The Gettysburg Address was read as part of our Memorial Day program today.

Those who paid the ultimate sacrifice built this country. Without them this country would be nothing.
