Wage Hour Retiree

The United States has recorded more than 20 wars during it short years of existence, starting with the Revolutionary War (1775-1783) to the current conflicts we are engaged in. It was during the Civil War that our nation recorded over 498,000 military deaths. Those numbers in the other wars, while not nearly as staggering, have been tremendous.

On this day we honor the men and women who have sacrificed their lives for the freedoms we have today. We honor those that survived these wars but are suffering from the effects of war. We say thanks to the families who have likewise suffered throughout the many wars and years as they have lost family members and loved ones.

While many will celebrate with bar b q, sports , games and beer, the day is all about these men and women. May God bless then all yesterday, today and tomorrow!!

If I could make just one wish today it would be directed to our churches throughout the country. I would ask that they recognize all of these men and women this morning at their main service. I know down deep inside this is not going to happen, even in my own church. Sad isn’t it????
