As another Memorial Day
dawns, I’m thinking about the men and women that laid down their lives for
their country… I am thinking about the soldiers I served with, some of which I
commanded during my 30 years of service in the Army. I think about the depth of
their sacrifice and the cause for which they forfeited their future by giving
their last full measure. By giving the full measure of their
devotion, they paid the ultimate price to serve our nation. Lest we forget,
each person we remember died for a cause.
President Lincoln
memorialized those who died in the cause of “government of the people, by the
people, for the people.” Their sacrifice reminds us that “freedom is not free”,
that the price of our freedom has been paid in the blood of our Uniformed Military Service personnel and the grief of those who loved them.
Now it is our turn to
“highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain.” It falls to us to
do all we can so that “this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of
freedom” and that our democracy “shall not perish from the earth.” Such resolve
takes many forms: military, economic, political, and cultural among them. But
most of all, it requires a spiritual commitment mirroring the commitment we
remember today. Those who we remember this Memorial Day, recognized the United
States of America as a Republic worth dying for.
If the extreme or revolutionary Left has its way, the
America they fought and died for will cease to exist. Why? Because the Left
doesn’t appreciate what made America a nation built on a hill that could not be
hidden. Moreover, the moral authority of America, the "beacon on
the hill" that President Ronald Reagan spoke of, was an essential part of that
interest.
Today, we are leaderless and voiceless from 1600
Pennsylvania Avenue, at home and abroad, even as the voices of our citizens are
loud and strong. ... Voices from around the globe, question whether the United
States still possess any moral authority. And as the Left has taken over the
center, our fellow citizens have been told that America is evil, and racist,
and unjust. Sadly, because of education indoctrination, and “Woke” ideology and,
CRT” historical revisionism the adolescent generations believe it.
Consequently, they’ve put their faith in authoritarian left leaning ideologues,
with no clue how good they’ve had it or how bad things can get.
The bad news is that we could lose everything our military service
members were willing to die for. But the good news is that there is still light
at the end of the axiomatic tunnel, if the majority of Americans are still
willing to fight for it. I ask you the reader, are you still one of them? Think
about this, If the Left’s ideas were popular, they wouldn’t have to censor us via
social media and MSM, they wouldn’t have to meddle or intrude in our elections,
and they would assuredly not need Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) to boost,
thereby embolden their client companies, corporations, businesses...
Regardless, whether the numbers are currently on their side
or our side, is America still worth fighting for? Granted, Left Wing radicals
are tactically and organizationally years ahead of patriotic Americans only
beginning to realize they are in a war. Can we still win the war? If so,
how? The first step is understanding the adversary. We can’t save the America
our men and women died for until we understand who and what we’re up against.
As we reflect on the Uniformed Armed Service members that made the ultimate
sacrifice, we must ask ourselves what forfeitures we are willing to
make so their last breaths were not for naught.
