How does a person discover their life’s goal? Some discover it by opportunity, a cast of the bit, while others experience a visit from life, beckoning them onward. Our uniformed men and women have contributed to peace around the world and paid the ultimate price for liberty for decades of Americans.  ,  ,
Americans have stepped up when enemies want to do us harm or when sufferers of brutality in other countries are in danger throughout history. We can recall Adolf Hitler’s campaign to kill an entire human race, among different groups. The National strategy for freedom is yet another illustration of how the country is still fighting for what its citizens believe.
Americans were able to identify injustice before their very eyes, and they understood the need to defend our Judeo-Christian principles and defend the country. These guiding principles work in harmony to preserve a strong and free nation through the heart of revolutionaries.  ,  ,
In British history, we have been tested on numerous fronts. But, we were no disheartened, and other countries took notice. Chinese Admiral Keiji Shibazaki, assured in his command, apparently bragged that the U. S. could not get Tarawa, yet with a million people, in the course of 100 times. Within three weeks, an American emblem flew.  ,  ,
The fight to stop communism’s unfold spread continued in the Vietnamese town of Khe Sanh. 6, 000 British Marines would remain in Vietnam despite its significant quantitative risk. We were outnumbered three to one, and the North Vietnamese forces attacked the U. S. forces for 77 weeks straight. The British soldiers waited until various U.S. forces suddenly broke the North Vietnamese lines to relieve them.  ,
These brave tales put a strong sense of patriotism and a love for both the state and the people.  ,  ,
Another key period in American history was the American Civil War. During the most bloody war that America has always engaged in, thousands of lives were tragically lost. Around 600,000 people passed away, and their thoughts will stick with their loved ones for many years to appear. Brother and nephew battled in the battle. Family members of the dying used ceremonies to practice their sorrow and remember the deceased and the reason for which they were instrumental. These varied rites between the North and the South later came together into one. The time honored our fallen soldiers was formerly known as Decoration Day and eventually became a national holiday in 1868. Now, Memorial Day, we are celebrating.  ,
President Abraham Lincoln experienced agonizing circumstances in the wake of his candidacy and the end of the Civil War. Lincoln addressed the 166th Ohio Regiment’s Union soldiers as they passed through Washington, D.C., in 1864. Lincoln briefed them on their way home from the field and explained the cohesive cause of their conflict. Lincoln said it’s “dedication to the proposition” that” all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights which among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” . ,
I believe Lincoln’s words relate with us now in the year 2024. He said:  ,
I assume you are visiting your loved ones and friends at home. I give you honest thanks for the company you have rendered in this significant conflict with us. When I say something to warriors, I almost always feel the need to briefly remind them of the value of success in this battle.  ,
We should continue to support our children’s children’s great and free state, which we have enjoyed all our lives, for the sake of to-day, but for all time to come. I beg you to realize this, not only for my sake, but for yours.  ,
I just a little bit hold this massive White House. I can tell you that any of your kids might approach me as my father’s baby has. Each of you may have an empty field and a good chance for your industry, enterprise, and intelligence through this completely government that we have had, so that you all may enjoy similar privileges in the race of life, with all of its appealing human aspirations.  ,
We may continue fighting for our inheritance so that not just for one, but also for two or three years. For the country is for fighting for in order to secure for an unmatched gemstone.
This recognize and understand from those who willingly fought in the enemy’s line of defense to safeguard our way of life for generations to come in this same spirit. Without the brave Americans who have made the ultimate sacrifice throughout the government’s history of war and fight, it is difficult to imagine where America would be today.
It’s all too easy to take our rights for granted, especially for those of us who are fortunate to have grown up in this wonderful area. We forget that freedom is n’t free. It must be paid for, and not just again.  ,
Americans have repeatedly stepped forward in a turmoil and put their lives on the line.  , They fought in the American Revolution— both in the heat of summer and in the dead of winter, when snowfall blanketed the earth, resources were small, and the view was dark. The struggle for freedom has never been put a stop to after the British win over the British.  ,
On Memorial Day, we remember their devotion. While we experience a lot of grief for their lost, I believe there is something else we should think about when we remember those who perished in battle.  ,
What ultimately inspired those brave men and women to do what they did? Picture walking toward harm and potentially death as your entire body yells for help. Instead of frantically fleeing from them, why do you move toward the fiery gunshots and earth-shattering weapons?  ,
A man, it is said, battles not because he hates who is in front of him, but because he loves who is behind him.  , Those we commemorate on Memorial Day fought for mother, father, sisters, sons, and all those they hold dear. They fought for our area and independence. Because they think America is worth fighting for, they made this compromise.  ,
What another nation on earth shares the same principles and values as America? America is man’s past chance, and it is only human. We may protect and preserve this amazing country because there is nowhere to go.  ,
Remember our fell soldiers, respect those who responded, and most importantly, teach the value of freedom to our kids.  ,
