Soldier stories-Memorial Day origins-Young Girl Singing National Anthem at Dallas Game

To all of my friends around this planet,
   John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.
  Memorial Day was first observed May 30, 1868 after a speech by General James Garfield, then people decorated the graves of soldiers.  Memorial Day was made a national holiday in 1971.
  I just want to thank all of our service men and women fighting for freedom around this world!  I also want to thank their families for sacrificing so much.  I especially want to thank the loved ones who have lost their soldiers for the cause of freedom.  I am forever grateful to those who have given all for me. 
  The selflessness I see in the soldiers makes me think of Jesus, who died so that you & I can live eternally, not just temporarily, with infinite, eternal life & freedom from the heart of God.  Every soldier who gave their life, if they accepted Jesus as their Saviour, will be resurrected when Jesus comes to life & freedom eternal!  Praies God! 
  Keeping America's freedom, the way God set it up, is very important, but it's most important to know Jesus.  God has blessed America, and America needs to ever be reminded of that.  Don't take freedom for granted.  Don't take God's mercy for granted.  Tell Him today, what you are thankful to Him for.  He loves to hear you.  He loves you...  John 8:36 says, "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed."
 Pray with true humility, repentance & faith, & He will hear:-)  I have to ask Him for those things in my heart, and He gives them:-)  God has blessed America so that we can bless others.  May God continue to bless through us, and take the gospel, lasting freedom,  to the entire planet!
  The video on top is a young girl singing the national anthem!  Wow!  If you like that, the one on the bottom is her singing Amazing Grace!
God B in U & through U,       Joy J
