    A Thought for Memorial Day

    Decatur Metro | May 25, 2009

    All day I’ve been trying to think of a few words to write about our fallen soldiers.  This will have to do.

    To all those soldiers both long dead and recently buried, today we remember your sacrifice and take a moment to reflect on the freedoms and unique values we owe to both you and those who survived.

    We are not a perfect people, but you keep giving us the opportunity to be.

    Thank you.
