A Salute to all Veterans

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” - John 15:13

On this Veteran’s day, I wanted to honor all those that have served around the world in an effort to preserve and grant freedoms to mankind. It is not an easy job and most of the time thankless, but I wanted to insure all those that may have had questions or doubts that you are indeed not forgotten and you are loved. Do not weaken or slow the pace, but remember there are millions of people who support you, love you, care for you, and mourn with you.

“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me…” Psalms 23:4

Here at Sniper Central we feel that there is indeed no more noble cause than that of serving to preserve and insure freedoms around the world. Every person has the right to live in peace and freedom and we support our soldiers as well as others that fight to preserve these freedoms. There is a Latin saying “si vis pacem, para bellum”, or “if you want peace, prepare for war”, or I have also heard it stated “Pray for peace, prepare for war”. While we all do pray and desire peace, we as current and former soldiers understand that we must prepare for war to insure peace and freedom more so than others, and for that reason we here at Sniper Central will always honor, remember, pray for, and support those who have served, are now serving, and those that will in the future serve, paying special homage and honor to those that have fallen preserving freedom and laying down their life for peace, freedom, their family, friends and country.

If you are veteran, stand up and be recognized! You have done well.
