Today in the United States is a national holiday... Memorial Day. A day when we stop and honor and remember those who have fought, sacrificed and died fighting for our country and freedom. Avery is at the age when he is starting to understand more about the difference between good and evil. So this evening Wayne and I are going to share with Avery about our friend David Hart. David was killed in Iraq in January 2008. He died fighting for his country, family, friends, and most importantly his brothers in arms that were taking fire right beside him. David's wife Nicole is continuing David's legacy through the
American Widow Project. She and the founder Taryn Davis were the keynote speakers at the USAA Memorial service. You can watch it
here and then click on "watch memorial day ceremony". They're also in the National Memorial Day Parade today.
It's a privilege to teach Avery and Reichen about David's life. If they're even half as dedicated to their country as David, then we'll have some strong sons. How will you remember those who have made the ultimate sacrifice today?
David and Nicole Hart
