MEMORIAL DAY | Remembering our fallen heroes

This Memorial Day, this isn’t about barbecues. It’s not about three-day weekends. It’s about the names etched in stone. It’s about the weight of freedom, paid for in blood. It’s about refusing to waste what they gave us!

They were the voices that will never be heard again. They drew their last breaths in foreign sands, jungle heat, mountain passes, and burning deserts. Some were only 19. Some were husbands and fathers. Some never got to grow old. But they all knew what they were fighting for.

They died with rifles clutched to their chests, dog tags soaked in blood and sweat. Some were torn apart by blasts. Others bled out in silence. Many stared at the sky, praying for one more breath that never came.

They gave everything—so we could wake up, go home, hold our children, and speak freely.

We live because they died!

A man is not truly gone if his name is still spoken.

Honor isn’t just remembering the dead—
it’s living in a way that proves they didn’t die for nothing.
