VETERANS DAY!

Today i wanted to talk about veterans... for hundreds of years people have fought for this country, people have died for this country, people have stood up for this country and today is the day that we pay our respects to them!
  I am truly grateful for our VETERANS! the one that is closest to me is my brother, his name is Corey Kenemore he is in the Marine Corp. he has been through so much to become one! through 13 weeks of training that breaks you down and builds you up! Corey has served honorably for them for about 5 years now and has had the opportunity to serve in Iraq to fight for my freedom, for our families freedom, for YOUR freedom!
   There is an amazing hymn that i love that is titled We are All Enlisted.
1. We are all enlisted till the conflict is o’er;
Happy are we! Happy are we!
Soldiers in the army, there’s a bright crown in store;
We shall win and wear it by and by.
Haste to the battle, quick to the field;
Truth is our helmet, buckler, and shield.
Stand by our colors; proudly they wave!
We’re joyfully, joyfully marching to our home.
[Chorus]
We are all enlisted till the conflict is o’er;
Happy are we! Happy are we!
Soldiers in the army, there’s a bright crown in store;
We shall win and wear it by and by.
2. Hark! the sound of battle sounding loudly and clear;
Come join the ranks! Come join the ranks!
We are waiting now for soldiers; who’ll volunteer?
Rally round the standard of the cross.
Hark! ’tis our Captain calls you today;
Lose not a moment, make no delay!
Fight for our Savior; come, come away!
We’re joyfully, joyfully marching to our home.
3. Fighting for a kingdom, and the world is our foe;
Happy are we! Happy are we!
Glad to join the army, we will sing as we go;
We shall gain the vict’ry by and by.
Dangers may gather—why should we fear?
Jesus, our Leader, ever is near.
He will protect us, comfort, and cheer.
We’re joyfully, joyfully marching to our home
I am so grateful to have such an amazing country that i live in! i love the freedom to choose what religion we want to be a part of! I'm grateful for that freedom that so many men fought and died for so that a young boy can have the opportunity to go into a grove of tree's and pray to know what church she should join.  I know that the gospel is true! i know that this church is true! i know that Jesus Christ is my Savior and redeemer.
