The Ultimate Sacrifice

"Courage is almost a contradiction in terms. It means a strong desire to live taking the form of readiness to die."

~ G.K. Chesterton ~

 

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
―John 15:13, KJV
 

In loving memory of those who made the ultimate sacrifice
and in honor of all who have and continue to risk their lives daily . . .

WE SALUTE YOU!

 

 

Captured

"I draw my greatest pleasure, not from capturing the moment, but from the moment capturing me.”

~ Starr Ayers ~ 

"My eyes are ever on the LORD, for only he will release my feet from the snare."

―Psalm 25:15, NIV

A Day to Remember

The day that changed forever

9.11.01

 

"Patriotism consists not in waving the flag, but in striving that

our country shall be righteous as well as strong."

 ~ James Bryce ~

 

"God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall

into the heart of the sea. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice,

the earth melts. He says, 'Be still and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.'"

―Psalm 46:1-2,6,10, NIV


In Loving Remembrance

A Working Freedom

"Labour was the first price, the original purchase

 money that was paid for all things. It was not by gold or silver, but by labour, that all wealth of the world was originally purchased."

~Adam Smith~ 

 

"The best thing we can do is eat and drink and enjoy what we have earned.

And yet, I realized that even this comes from God. 

How else could you have anything to eat or enjoy yourself at all? "

―Ecclesiastes 2:24-25, GNT

 

  HAPPY LABOR DAY!
