NOTE: In honor of Memorial Day, I will postpone announcing the Give Away Winner until tomorrow.
In the United States,
Memorial Day is on the last Monday in May
and honors Americans who gave their lives
for their country in wars.
In remembrance of those who have written the meaning of freedom in red I honor them with the following poem:
The meaning of freedom is written in red,
A bold reminder of the blood our soldiers shed.
These protectors of our great nation,
Deserve remembrance and celebration.
Brave and bold they must be,
To stand firm for life and pursuit of liberty.
Whether on foreign soil or homeland ground,
The brave ones are honor bound,
To protect and serve their people and nation,
With great strength and dedication.
On this day we salute their cause,
For all the freedoms that are ours.
Grateful and thankful ought we to be,
For those who fought to keep us free.
Because the meaning of freedom is written in red,
A bold reminder of the blood our soldiers shed.

The words of Christ are written in red,
A bold reminder of the blood He shed.
Jesus the Author and Finisher of our faith,
Bestowed upon us His great grace.
He who was present at the beginning of time,
Laid down His life for yours and mine.
He who could joy in the presence of God,
Became flesh and upon this earth did trod.
He was from the beginning focused on the end,
So that we could gain freedom from death and sin.
He is the Alpha and Omega, that first and last is He,
Eternally grateful ought we to be.
Daily should we rise in the presence of His grace,
And seek to shine for Him and bring a smile to His face.
For the words of Christ are written in red,
A bold reminder of the blood He shed.
With Heartfelt Gratitude,
Miss Sandy
