The Reason

Something to think about this Memorial Day:

This photo below is from CNN article found at (http://www.cnn.com/2017/05/28/asia/isis-threat-southeast-asia/index.html ) with the photo description: “An ISIS fighter erects the flag of the so-called Islamic State atop a school near a mosque in Marawi, southern Philippines on May 24, 2017.”

This is what ISIS wants, everywhere, and they will get it if we, or any nation, allows it by not defending itself.  There is a reason for the shed blood of those who died for the freedoms we all have-in this photo you see the reason.

Remember Sacrifice

If all that we can do is remember the sacrifice of others, and be grateful, we should.  Spilled blood is much too great a sacrifice to be indifferent about.  This is no mediocre sacrifice-really, there is no greater sacrifice.
