On Monday, we observe Memorial Day, a day dedicated to remembrance. We will, as a nation, honor those who rendered their last full measure of selfless devotion, on battlefields near and far. With due gratitude, humility, and reverence we will remember those who answered their country's call; who fought and died amidst storms of fire and blood, so that we, the living, might continue to enjoy the blessings of life and liberty.
Our God and God of our ancestors: help us remember that peace and freedom do not come about by themselves, nor will they survive unattended; that to secure such blessings for future generations, we must not only yearn and pray, but also work, serve, and sacrifice. Thus, may we ever prove ourselves worthy of the memory of those who died in the service of our country. So may it be God's will. And let us all say, Amen.
You know your a moderate when you're friendly with far right and far left people and those from the far right label you liberal while the leftists call you conservative.
Ronald Reagan, Phoenix Chamber of Commerce, March 30, 1961: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We did not pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

Extremism sells “news”.
