US History Through Holidays

Holidays, such as Memorial Day, Flag Day, and Independence Day, help us teach the values of our country: that all humans, not just a select few, are endowed by our Creator (not by governments!) with inalienable rights, including the right to speak freely and to worship God according to conscience. This freedom wasn't free--it has cost the life of many brave men and women. It is our charge to avoid complacency, because this nation's freedom, under God, must be maintained by each generation.

May God bless those who protect US: Army, Navy, Marines, Air Force, CIA, FBI, Border Patrol, Coast, Guard, Merchant Marine, Police, Fire Departments, Civil Air Patrol, and more. The Civil Air Patrol is responsible for the majority of search and rescue missions in the US, and is Air Force Auxiliary. It is open to youth, and homeschoolers. For information about the Civil Air Patrol, read my daughter's post at http://malexmedia.net/forum/2007/04/22/slushys_going_military .
