The Greatest Among Us

There are great men and great women who few of us would find ourselves worthy to be compared with who fought for, died for, suffered injury for or simply stood ready to do so, to ensure our freedom. Many of them bear the scars, some seen, some unseen, and wear them to the grave where at last they will be set free from the burden they agreed to bear for us. These are the selfless ones among us, the soldier, the guardian to the gates of freedom and liberty. Because of our soldiers those who attempt to break through these gates will, to put it politely, die trying. The enemies soldiers serve one man, our soldiers serve all men, so you see, failure is simply not an option. Their sacrifice can never be paid for but we can, on this day, thank them and thank God for them. On that day their burden is lifted they will surely hear "Job well done, good and faithful servant" but until then they should hear it from us today and every day. Happy 4th of July. cjpost
