The Wall
This afternoon I visited “the Wall”. The wall is a memorial dedicated to the many who have given their lives in the Vietnam conflict. This weekend this memorial visited Payson. This was such an inspiring memorial. For over one hundred yards the wall contained name after name of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. How anyone can visit this memorial and not shed a tear is beyond my imagination. The wall contains the names of men and women who protected the heritage of freedom for our nation. On the wall are the names of thousands of America’s greatest warriors.
I hear from our news media a clamor for change. What is it they want to change? Hopefully it isn’t the freedom afforded us by these heroes. I hope we do not want to change the respect we give to those who have purchased freedom for all. Certainly we would not sell the memories of these great individuals for the sake of something new. Choose wisely the things you want.
The wall contains the names of some of our greatest warriors. From those of us who didn’t serve to those of you who did, thank you for your service. May God always bless those who put their lives on the line for freedom.
