I'll never forget an editorial cartoon I saw years ago. In the back ground was a family playing on the seashore with a beachball and in the foreground was a rifle stuck into the sand with a US helmet on it. The caption read, "The next time you enjoy a day at the seashore, remember those who never got past the beaches". Powerful statement. We should all pause and pray for those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy every day.
