I was reminded of the line at the end of the movie Saving Private Ryan as my family and I stood at the World War II Memorial.
"Have I lived a good life?"
What has been our response to the incredible sacrifice so graphically depicted in that film? How do we use the freedoms those young men fought and died for? Have our lives given their families a sense of peace or have we desecrated their graves?
We must use the freedoms for which these brave men and women paid so high a price for virtue not license; for purpose not sloth; and for bravery not cowardice and resignation.
