WARRIORS WHO SACRIFICED ALL

In 1776, George Washington and two Commissioned a flag of red, white, and blue.

Red for courage—and blood shed for liberty, Blue for justice and freedom from tyranny. 

White for the innocence that is taken by war Sacrifices made for peace and freedom, evermore. 

The American flag—symbol of a united effort by all To preserve treasured freedoms, lest we fall... 

…Fall to tyranny and loss of blood-stained freedoms, A tyranny that dishonors soldiers, airmen, and seamen. 

Freedom comes at a very great cost; Lives are marred, and lives are lost. 

But what greater gift can a man or woman give, Then to lay down their life, so that others may live.

The sacrifices our military and families made each day, Are sacrifices beyond what this nation could repay. 

May these words express America’s heartfelt indebtedness To warriors who sacrificed all and went to their rest.

Joy Bollinger

Greater love has no one than this, Than to lay down one’s life for his friends. John 15:13
