āThen I heard the voice of the Lord saying, āWhom shall I send? And who will go for us?ā And I said, āHere am I. Send me!ā
~ Isaiah 6:8
This Memorial Day, we Americans remember the brave men and women who answered that same call. I wore this scripture on a chain around my neck for 20 years.
They heard the voice of duty ā of God and country ā and said, āSend me.ā They left homes, families, and futures behind to defend liberty on distant battlefields.
Some never returned. Their sacrifice was total. Their āHere am Iā became eternal.
Today we honor their courage, their faith, and the freedom they secured for us. We owe them a debt we can never fully repay ā only remember and live worthy of.
To every Gold Star family, every veteran who carried the weight: Thank you.
May we never forget those who said āSend meā⦠and meant it with their lives.šāļø
Goodnight, yaāll.
