at what price freedom?
By PaulCochrane | November 11, 2009
At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1919, an armistice was signed that ended the fighting of the Great War — World War 1. They called it Armistice Day.
Every November 11 thereafter, businesses would close their doors at 11 a.m. to honor those who had served in that awful war. With the passing of time it has come to be known as Veterans Day — a day to honor the fallen and veterans of every war.
On this November 11, thirteen fresh graves from Fort Hood, Texas press the question once again: At what price freedom?
Please take this opportunity to pause for a moment… to reflect on the freedoms won for us by someone in uniform… to remember their devotion to country… and to honor their sacrifice.
And then let your thoughts travel to another war, another Hero, and another Sacrifice whereby we mark the price of our eternal freedom. *
Because freedom is never free.*
Blessings,
* Luke 4:18, 19; John 8:36; Romans 6:23; 8:2
