Iraq Loss of Life

Today the news reminded me of a gift I received, one that I did not want. It came wrapped in a funeral shroud and accompanied by the sound of weeping.

I have no way to tell the families of those who've given their lives in Iraq and Afghanistan how grateful my family and I are for their sacrifice on behalf of the freedom and liberty we enjoy.

Though no one may read of our gratitude in this post, there is One who knows and honors their passing; for He said, "Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." [John 15:13]
