Today is Memorial Day.

A day to remember the ultimate sacrifice made by men and women who loved
their country and their freedom enough to give it all so we, and future
generations would have the freedoms that every man woman and child deserves.


I chose to share a video with you on this Memorial Day. It's a speech given
by a junior in high school. It's a speech that tells me that if the majority
of the youth of America are anything like this young woman, our future is
bright, our hope is strong.

It also reminds me that the men and women who fought and died were not much
older than this young lady, and that has always left me with a sense of awe,
a sense of sadness, and a whole lot of pride.


Ladies and gents, if this is an ongoing example of the caliber of children
coming up, we're gonna be ok.

that we may live in freedom.
