Today is an importand day in our calendar. Each year seems more important than the last. We should forget the sacrifices that came before us. There are lessons from our history that remain relevant, even today. Lest We Forget. #remembranceday2023

For people across America, our flag is a reminder of our Nation’s founding principle. It stands for the sacred idea that we are all created equal and deserve to be treated equally throughout our lives. Our flag is also a reminder of our shared calling: to stand for the ideals our country was founded on — democracy, freedom, and justice for all. On Flag Day and during National Flag Week, we take pride in the promise and purpose represented by our Nation’s flag. Our country’s flag was created in 1777, when America was still a new idea. Americans flew it at their homes during the Revolutionary War as brave troops fought for our country’s independence from British rule — representing the resolve and resilience of our Nation’s 13 colonies with 13 stripes and stars. As our Nation evolved, so too did our flag — with every new star added to Old Glory, we were reminded that the work of forging a more perfect Union never ends.

The closest many will get to understanding the carnage and sacrifice of the D-Day Landings 80 years ago today will be through watching films like Saving Private Ryan or visiting museums. Over 4000 allied forces lost their lives on 6 June 1944 to help defeat the Nazi ideology 80 years ago, so that today we can enjoy the freedoms we have, and too often take for granted. It is our duty to protect the freedoms we have and never forget those that laid down their lives in 1944 and throughout two World Wars. It is duty too to also educate our children and future generations to commemorate days like today. Find articles like the one below with facts about D-Day they can read to understand the sacrifices. But most of all we must also say never again to global wars and to dictators no matter what flag they fly and their cause https://lnkd.in/du6ZjQWv #dday80 #neverforget #sacrifice #operationoverlord #educate #neveragain

Scriptural thought for today Armageddon – Who is involved in this war? (Re 16:14, 16)   *This is not man’s war but God’s war against people and Governments who do not submit to His authority (Ps 2:2 – Da 2:44)   *Who fights God’s war against those who oppose Him and treat Him with contempt? His King Jesus and his heavenly army (Re 19:11-16, 19-21)   *Where will still battle take place? (Jer 25:32-34)   *Will this be the end of the world? (Ps 37:29 – 1Jo 2:15-17)   *And what will be the final outcome? (Ec 1:4 – Ps 37:34 ; 104:5)   *And for man (Mt 6:9, 10 – Ps 72:7, 8) plus all the benefits that will follow

Today, we come together to honor the brave Americans who were prisoners of war and those who remain missing in action. These individuals have left an indelible mark on our nation's history, embodying the spirit of sacrifice and resilience that defines our country. As we raise the POW/MIA flag, let us also raise awareness about the ongoing efforts to account for those who are still missing. Their sacrifice is a reminder of the price of freedom and the duty we have to never forget. #powremembrance #MIArecognitionday #militaryservice #defensesolutions #militaryfamily #hurricaneaerospacesolutions

“War is an abomination. It is quite wrong that one nation, or tribe, should attack another in pursuit of land, power, or wealth. It is doubly wrong that the victors should proclaim the glory of their battles, while their victims lie maimed and dying. The glory of war is illusory; war brings only misery. Yet this does not mean that military service is a dishonorable profession, nor that carrying arms impedes salvation. Every emperor, king and prince must have soldiers to protect his realm from attack, and his people from robbery and murder. An army is necessary to keep peace with other nations, and to keep peace within a nation. What, then, if the king orders his army to perform an evil act, such as invading a neighboring nation? Should the Christian soldier disobey his orders, even at the risk of being executed for his disobedience? In such a situation, he must weigh one evil against another: the evil of participating in the invasion, against the evil of leaving his family without material support. None of us can presume to judge the soldier's decision; but rather, we must pray that the Spirit guides his conscience.” + Saint John Chrysostom (4th century)

79 years ago, the horrors and untold suffering visited upon humankind by the Second World War finally ended, unveiling a world forever transformed by a profound sense of loss, yet unparalleled triumph and courage to rebuild and to move forward in hope. Today, we honor the sacrifices of the millions who perished and celebrate the valor of those who gallantly fought for peace. Full video: https://lnkd.in/ecJC2CJZ

WHEN GOD TURNS THE TABLE !! KEY VERSE: (ESTHER 9:1). History is largely a record of the extraordinary events in the affairs of man. It observes unexpected outcomes that appear to run against the normal course of play. There are moving stories, for instance, of how suddenly a military force on the winning streak fails to sustain the steam and begins to experience huge losses. There are individual cases in sports where, after a seemingly unassailable start, the athlete becomes complacent and loses the race to a less expected contestant. One of the most celebrated of such reversals in recorded history is the one orchestrated by God in the book of Esther. Continue: blog.timeus.org.ng
