We must never forget our freedom

















My little sister just visited Hawaii. She's doing an amazing job of bringing family history to life. She posed for a picture aboard the USS Missouri in the exact same spot our Uncle Lee stood as he observed the Japanese surrender. Uncle Lee served our country with pride, even as he endured two years as a Japanese prisoner of war.

It's so easy to go about our daily lives, watch our silly television shows, drive our fancy cars, and enjoy all the blessings we assume we deserve. Thank you to all those that have allowed us to remain in a blissful fog of indifference and ignorance. May God forgive us and protect our American freedoms we so take for granted.
