As we're off to celebrate this Memorial Day, don't forget to say a prayer for the men and women that sacrifice for our Freedom. The quote below is from an old English Economist named John Stuart Mill. I discovered it when doing research for a paper years ago and it's always stuck with me.
"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse. The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself." John Stuart Mill
As the son of a veteran, I thank all those serving and their families for their dedication and support. Because of the American soldier I get to be who I am, a Texan and American, and that makes for a pretty good life!
Thanks
