WHAT DO WE OWE TO THOSE WHO GIVE THEIR LIVES FOR US?

It’s not just Mike, whose life as he knew it is now over because he was willing to go overseas to protect those of us who remain at home…..what about Megan? 

Megan pulled a three-ring binder out of her bag and showed me a photograph of herself and her husband. Young — they’re both 21 — with big smiles on their faces, and obviously wildly in love. “That’s what he looked like,” she said with a somber face, “He was such a cutie-pie, always buying me little stuffed animals and writing the most thoughtful notes the entire time he was in Iraq.” Then she showed me the photo of her husband receiving the Purple Heart on Wednesday from President Bush at Bethesda Naval Medical Center. As President Bush pinned the medal on Mike as he lay unconscious in the ICU, having suffered a traumatic brain injury caused by a piece of shrapnel that pierced his right eye.

How should we live to warrant THIS KIND OF SACRIFICE?  It’s good to think about such things at Christmas…...when we celebrate the birth of Someone who also gave everything to keep us free.
