A friend of my posted the following on facebook today:
"Lindsay Lohan, 24, gets her name & face all over the news just because she went to jail.
Justin Allen, 23, Brett Linley, 29, Matthew Weikert, 29, Justus Bartett, 27, Dave Santos, 21, Chase Stanley, 21, Jesse Reed, 26, Matthew Johnson, 21, Zachary Fisher, 24, Brandon King, 23, Christopher Goeke, 23 and Sheldon Tate, 27 are all Marines that gave their lives for you this week. Please Honor THEM!"
It absolutely breaks my heart how much truth there is in this. How much time did news stations take up covering the Lindsay incident? Or some thing else just as meaningless? And then compare it to the amount of time those same stations used covering those brave men and women who served our country to protect our freedom? Past, present, and future. And those men and women who paid the ultimate price?
Seems a little lop sided doesn't it? Even if we don't agree with the reasons for the war, those men and women need our support. I ask God every day to keep them all safe, and to bring them home to their families. And I thank them for their sacrifices they make.
