Good morning…
“As we head into the Memorial Day weekend, let us reflect on the tremendous price that was paid by the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country,” says the post accompanying this tender YouTube video paying tribute. “Through the sounding of Taps, members of The United States Air Force Band solemnly render honor to those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for their country. A long-held musical tradition at military funerals, the music of Taps originated from a Civil War bugle call entitled, ‘Extinguish Lights’. A plaintive call, the sounding of Taps signals the end of the fallen serviceman’s duty and is the final tribute from a grateful nation. To those who have given the last full measure of devotion, we honor your service, pay tribute to your lives, and thank you for your selfless sacrifice.”
Now touch on the tender video below. Take these sacred moments to allow your heart to be stirred. Invite your mind to wander down memory lane, expressing your own gratitude for the many whose selfless sacrifices have protected the freedom we each cherish today.
Our identity as a nation continues to grow organically from the soil of Psalm 76:11 (NLT). Make vows to the Lord your God, and keep them. Let everyone bring tribute to the Awesome One.
…Sue…
