All gave some. Some gave all. We who believe in righteousness must honor our soldiers and their sacrifices.
Now we face a new enemy. One that is both domestic and foreign. As one soldier told a group of us last week: “I will not only stand up, I will move forward.”
You do not have to be a soldier to give your children the freedom that has come at such a high price. You do have to stand up and move forward.

… and none shall measure those who have fought the battle, save God.
For even their fellows, who have gone over the same ground, and borne the same hardships, have only their own personal glimpses into the struggle which war ignites in the soul of each man. A struggle which we bear the rest of our lives -- which both changes us, and marks us.
Whether we wish it or not, it sets us apart.
The prayer of ever Soldier, ever Marine, every Airman and every Sailor as they face the battle is a simple one, and it comes down to this -- Please God, accept my sacrifice; make it sufficient; and grant me peace with what I must do. Amen
Today, let us echo their prayers, for all who serve now, and all who have ever served -- Please God, accept their sacrifice. Make it sufficient. Grant them each peace, and redemption, and leave them not alone, but protect them from every evil.
For all those who served; our roll call of honor, the pride of our history, and the inspiration of our future -- Lord, we give thanks. Amen.
Evidence suggests that the attack at Perl harbor was not a surprise to the leaders of the us government. To the victor goes the spoils/narrative and all that.
