The following is from my dear friend Beverly, whom I agree with totally. Today and every day I honor all those who gave their lives to protect and keep us safe. And may God Bless those who continue to put their lives on the line to protect the America we love and the freedoms we cherish.
*********************

The utter ineptness and disgrace that Obama exhibits on a daily basis does not get my attention today.

Obama and Hillary and their disastrous policies that enabled and empowered (and armed) the savages we are fighting are all bad enough, but the disgusting desertion and dereliction of duty regarding 4 Americans who were slaughtered in Benghazi will always make a difference to those of us who revere and honor the brave and selfless Warriors who serve to protect and defend us! The difference the “preventable” deaths of these courageous Americans makes is something they are unable to comprehend.

Take a listen to Marine and Purple Heart Recipient Nick Popoditch (who was there when Saddam’s statue was brought down in Baghdad) sum up the greatness of our military and the True Grit & Selfless Warriors who fill it’s ranks:

Today, I will lower that beautiful flag that flies in my front yard and I will make sure my grandchildren know why our flag is lowered. We will gather and we will remember and give thanks to those who gave their lives to ensure we live freely to enjoy this beautiful and protected way of life they provided us.

It is the Soldier, who risks his life, who gives us our freedom!

So after today, I will not forget that fact and I will be sure to honor these brave Americans who are willing to die to give us this precious freedom: I will honor them by voting!

Unfortunately for our military and for all of us, there were those in 2012 (4 million, it is reported), who sat home and did not vote in one of the most important Presidential elections ever in the history of this great republic. Obama told us he would fundamentally change this country and he made a good start in his first 4 years and he made it clear he would continue down his path, if given another 4 years. Those 4 million who stayed home and didn’t vote are the ones yelling the loudest now against all that Obama is doing! I hear some of these folks saying the same thing again, that if they don’t get the pure candidate they want, they will stay home again. These folks run in Conservative circles so I have come to the conclusion they must be Marxists who have successfully infiltrated the conservative movement because surely, SURELY, nobody could be that naïve that they didn’t believe Obama meant what he said back in 2012, and surely they would have now realized that staying home and not voting is a mistake?! Surely!!!

I challenge anyone of these folks to convince me that their decision to stay home and not vote was good for their family, our military and our country. Their decision, in my opinion, was a dereliction of their duty to their family, our military and our country. You see, along with our military, we have a duty too, and that is to engage in elections to help protect our freedom, our way of life, and most of all, to protect and support the very brave men and women who keep us safe and free! One thing is for certain, if you don’t exercise your right to vote, you really have no room to complain. Unfortunately for the rest of us, and especially our military fighting in far off lands, we all suffer now the reckless and horrendous consequences of their dereliction of duty as American citizens!

Please, on this Memorial Day, remember our noble Heroes who have given their all and please make a commitment to honor our brave Warriors and the sacrifices they and their families make, by voting in future elections. At the very least, we owe them that!

AND with regard to those who wear the uniform of Blue:

May God Bless & Watch over our Police. Under this bizarre president and his dudes and dudettes administration, our brave men and women in Blue are now subject to the same restrictive rules of engagement that our military has been under. We all know how this will play out, Obama and his policies of appeasement toward all those who are evil will continue to costs precious American lives.

It is time for the Police to suffer the “Blue Flu”. Let those in Baltimore, Ferguson and “Chiraq”, who don’t like the Police and resent their protection, let them defend their neighborhoods!

With a Grateful Heart for all those who put on a uniform everyday to protect and keep us safe, my family is forever grateful to all of you!

God Bless All Those Who Wear The Uniform To Protect and Keep us Safe, May God Bless & Watch YOU! On Memorial Day & Everyday, may we as a nation ALWAYS be grateful for those who gave their lives to keep us safe!

Freedom is not free, it is paid for by the sacrifice of brave Americans who love us so much they are willing to lay down their lives to protect us and keep us free!

Thank you, GF! May the Lord save our nation, by bringing us back to Him. And may He grant us the grace to hear those words, "God bless America" come from a President once again. For the sake of what America was built on, and has represented to the world whenever our help was needed; for all those who have fought from the beginning of our great nation until now, for their families, and in memory of those who sacrificed their lives, may God have mercy on our country, and bring us back to Him once again.

Lord Jesus, You shed Your Precious Blood on the Cross for love of all mankind. You said that "Greater love than this no man hath, that a man lay down his life for his friends. (John, 15:13)" We thank You, Lord, on this special day of remembrance, for all those who give unselfishly for the love of a brother; for love of the principles upon which our nation was founded; and for those who have also shed their blood out of love. Please, for their sake, bless our country once again with wisdom and justice, and grant us Your peace.

Amen
