TO ALL THE Veterans

[Carlene Prince]

I have a special place in my heart for the Veterans for you see I have a brother who was in the Air Force for twenty years, during those twenty years he was stationed overseas as well as in the United States.


I am proud of each Veteran, no matter what War they served in. “Thank you for your service”. It is because of your service that I have the freedoms that I have, I have the freedom to write JESUS on this page and send it to you; I have the freedom to pray in public, and folks have the freedom to protest my praying in public. All our freedoms are because of our Veterans.

But there is another freedom I have…which I am more thankful for, and that is the freedom I have in Christ

Because of our Veterans I enjoy freedoms in my country, but because of Christ, I enjoy freedom in my soul. The price that you Veterans paid was great, you sacrificed your family, your time to do what they wanted to do, some gave the ultimate price; they gave their life for us. Jesus Christ paid the ultimate price too; He bled and died on the cross of Calvary so that we can be free from sin. Our Freedom in the natural is important, but our freedom in the SPIRIT is vital. My natural man is going to die someday and I will be buried beneath the soil of my free country. But my SOUL will never die, but because of the freedom I have in Christ I will live eternally in Heaven. Heaven, a place of total freedom, free from death, free from pain, free from sickness and free from war.

The freedoms that we have in the United States could some day be lost. The enemy COULD come onto our shores and take a way the freedoms that we enjoy; but the freedom that I have in Christ can NEVER BE TAKEN AWAY BY ANYONE.

You live in a free country thanks to our Veteran’s; but do you have FREEDOM IN YOUR SOUL??? You can today, by Christ.


THANK YOU!!!

Thank you, Carlene, for this beautiful post. I honor all veterans for protecting the liberties I have in my country, but you are the right - true liberty is only found in Jesus Christ. His was the ultimate and greatest sacrifice.

We veterans thanks you for the kind words. For letting us know that some do care. Though many were drafted and didn't inlist, most were proud to give to the service of their country. I for one am proud to be a veteran and proud to be an American. God bless America.

I chose to go into the USN. It was a life dream. I wanted to serve my country. I wanted to give back. I come from a family filled with vets. My Dad was a purple heart vet in the battle of Po valley, where Dole got his purple heart. My Dad served with him.
