A Preamble to Freedom

Will you take a moment of appreciation?

“All we have of freedom, all we use or know – This our fathers bought for us long and long ago.” 

Rudyard Kipling, The Old Issue, 1899

While you enjoy the liberty to do whatever you choose today – be with friends and family, catch up on your to do list, have fun, work, kick back and do nothing – there are those who risked their lives so we can enjoy these freedoms.

Memorial Day is a time to recognize what others have given in service for us to live in democracy in the U.S.A. Although imperfect at times (well, lots of times), we are on a quest to create what the Preamble to the Constitution calls “a more perfect union.”

The Preamble is a short, introductory statement of the Constitution’s fundamental purposes and guiding principles.

It posits what the Founding Fathers’ intentions were regarding the Constitution’s meaning and what they hoped it would achieve:

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

The Preamble to the Constitution of the United States.

Each year on Memorial Day, a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 PM local time.

As you go about your life, will you take a moment to give a sacred nod of appreciation to those who cared enough about us and this ideal of democracy to serve their country? 

A moving tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice is “Hymn to the Fallen” by John Williams.

“In honor of the soldiers who give us the freedoms we have today.”

Recently, I learned that each year on Memorial Day, a national moment of remembrance takes place at 3 PM local time.

As you go about your life, take a moment to give a sacred nod of appreciation to those who cared enough about us and this ideal of democracy to serve their country.
