Memorial Day

Memorial Day

Postby Al_HikesAZ » May 30 2010 9:18 pm

On Memorial Day I remember the prayer I said many times waiting for my Father to come home. He is buried at Arlington and I remember him today.
Eternal Father, strong to save,
Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,
Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep
Its own appointed limits keep;
Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,
For those in peril on the sea!

Lord, guard and guide the men who fly
Through the great spaces in the sky.
Be with them always in the air,
In darkening storms or sunlight fair;
Oh, hear us when we lift our prayer,
For those in peril in the air!
Anybody can make a hike harder. The real skill comes in making the hike easier. http://www.flickr.com/photos/7202153@N03/

Thanks to those who made the ultimate sacrifice. I'll think of your father the next time I pass Arlington.

A very special thank you to all the Heros that have givin their lives so that we could live ours in freedom.
