There are many things we can do to honor those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for the defense of our freedom. But one thing that really puts things into perspective is the intense training our service men and women go through. May their sacrifices never be forgotten!
John 15:13 – Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
