Pro-life video of the day: Veterans Day tribute
by Hans Johnson
November is a month of notable military anniversaries. Yesterday was the 239th birthday of the U.S. Marine Corps. Next week marks 151 years since the first reading of the Gettysburg Address. And, of course, today is Veterans Day.
While we pay tribute to all who have served in our armed forces, our thoughts inevitably go to those who have made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our nation’s life and liberty. One of the too many fallen was Pfc. Jesse Givens, who wrote a letter to his wife Melissa (as dramatized in this video) just a week before he was killed in Iraq in 2003. He asked her to only open it upon his death – which she did, in the maternity ward after having given birth to their second son.
We shall never forget those who, as President Lincoln said one-and-a-half centuries ago, gave “the last full measure of their devotion.”
