No greater Love

love for our country and our freedom

“ NO GREATER LOVE”

 

Men from all walks of life, farmers, doctors, blue- collar workers,

Lawyers, fathers, bankers and more,

Men whom we may have never even met, have fought for our freedom,

May we never forget.


Men were injured and some even died, for the love of their great

Country in which you and I abide.

A love for life, liberty and the freedom that we so often take for

granted, these brave men followed the scriptures with their lives;

“ No greater love hath a man, than to lay down his life for another”


Men to whom the greatest debt we do owe, but, often never receive

The least of what we can give; a thank you, that in freedom we may live.

I for one need desperately to say,

Thank you for the freedom in which I abide!!!

For our Freedom we all need to remember freedom isn't free, nor is it partial a certain class of people.
