Pedestrians out enjoying a walk, parents bringing
their children to school or people driving by were
probably curious about what had been 'planted'
yesterday on the front lawn of New Life church.
Once they got closer, they could see that the
lawn was dotted with American flags.
Each of the 6,431 American flags represents
the life of an American who has died in Iraq
or Afghanistan and are arranged to spell out
'REMEMBER'.
WE MUST REMEMBER that our freedom
isn't free! It has been paid for with the lifeblood
of many who took an oath to serve, defend and
protect us! As this Memorial Day approaches,
stop to Remember and say a Prayer!
Join us in welcoming Austin Westlake to the listing of Blogs We Recommend! Austin is serving as an intern to New Life Church and his first project involved the Memorial Day flag display. If you'd like to read all about how the display came about visit Austin's May posting entitled 'The Little Things'.
