An item from the Wreaths Across America that may be of interest to members.
Over the last 20 years, I have had many conversations with veterans from different conflicts throughout our nation’s history. One concern they all seem to share is whether the next generation truly understands the cost of freedom and the human sacrifice behind the liberties we enjoy every day. That is why patriotism must go hand in hand with stewardship, responsibility, and service to others.
As generations pass, it falls on us to carry forward the lessons they learned and the values they fought to protect. The challenge is inspiring a sense of patriotism and urgency in a generation that, thankfully, has not experienced the kind of all-encompassing national conflicts like World War II, where every man, woman, and child played a role.
