How fitting on Memorial Day we come to the Memorial Table. When it is my opportunity to give the Communion Statement,I prefer to share something positive, something uplifting. I cannot today because on Memorial Day I remember my generations war,a war that claimed over 58,000 lives. I remember Vietnam. I remember a young man, just out of high school,wwho chose to volunteer instead of going to college or waiting for the draft. He died on patrol one week after being deployed in Vietnam.\
On Memorial Day, we remember service men and women, who like my high school friend, gave their lives to secure and protect the freedom we have in this country. As we come to the Lord's Table, we remember Christ gave his life for us. In remembrance, let us live to be his hands in this world today.
