Dr. Lant has given some extraordinary insights into the true meaning of Memorial Day in this book with some very touching and moving stories.
Memorial Day, can be summarized in just a few words: liberty, freedom, self-determination, to enjoy the fruits of one's labors, to praise
God, each in his own way, and work together. It is a day for acute
remembrance and to remind ourselves of fundamental truths we have
neglected and forgotten. It is a day when we recall how much has been
done for each and every one of us, by the sacrifices of so many, and for
the great world beyond.
We live in a time when the community that was and should always be
America and its Great Republic is unraveling before our very eyes. We
look at the institutions of our government, and we see their increasing
flaws, and imperfections. We see our leaders diminished daily, by their
picayune concerns and language obscene, divisive, focusing on minute
political gain, instead of the great interests of our much diminished
America.
When we look at America today It is a dismal picture, and all because a single word has evaporated from our national agenda: sacrifice.
Memorial Day is a day for remembering. So let us then remember.
Remember a nation, which saw far, and worked not for momentary gain, but
for long term measures of great consequence and worth. People saved today
to perfect tomorrow. People did their bit because by doing one's bit, success
was ensured for all. We were not just a great nation, we were a great
community, the leader of an expectant world, where working together was the
preferred state of affairs. And together, we achieved miracles.
The contents of this book will move you. They advance the hard questions,
and review the hard realities. These chapters are not afraid of the harsh and
bitter truth; that we sacrificed far too many men and women in endeavors which,
at their outset, commanded the high rhetoric so obligatory in our wars and
national undertakings, but which in the event made these words an acrimonious mockery.
They show how often these sacrifices failed, failed miserably, failed
completely... because we have lost our national purpose and vision, and now
detest each other, dismiss each other, disdain each other, and say to
ourselves that is the way things must be for this America. But that is not so.
Let Memorial Day be a day of remembering and re dedication. Read on...
