Remembering...



Some came home. 
But too many didn't. 

Today I'm remembering and giving thanks to those who gave everything for the freedoms I too often take for granted. 

There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friends ~ John 15:13

      Thanks, Lisa. I've passed that sculpture so many times and on impulse stopped the other day. Only had my iphone, but decided to give it a shot and I like it!
