So many have fallen to keep these freedoms and liberties in the USA.
Every branch of service has given their blood and their lives to keep this nation free! We owe each one of them a great debt.
As a veteran I appreciate my brothers and sisters who have served in honor. I thank them everyone and I pray for their "immortal souls" as they are so precious to me.
As much as each one of us has done, it does not add up to the 'ultimate sacrifice' that our dear Lord gave when He died on that tree.
He defeated death, and provided a Way to Salvation for all of mankind. Each one of us can have our sins washed away. We simply need to repent of our sins, and put our trust in Jesus Christ.
In His Love,

The Rapture happens. The saints go to be with Jesus; as it is written, BEHOLD, I SHOW YOU A MYSTERY; WE SHALL NOT ALL SLEEP, BUT WE SHALL ALL BE CHANGED, IN A MOMENT, IN THE TWINKLING OF AN EYE, AT THE LAST TRUMP (ref Num 10): FOR THE TRUMPET SHALL SOUND, AND THE DEAD SHALL BE RAISED INCORRUPTIBLE, AND WE SHALL BE CHANGED-1 Cor 15:51,52.

1 Thessalonians 4:16-18 (King James Version)
16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words.
(Commentary)
When the Rapture happens, there will be far less people taken than is generally believed. It will be as in the days of Noah and as in the days of Lot. The last church age, that of the Laodiceans, is rejected-ref Rev 3:16.
Nevertheless, even though the percentage of people that will be taken will be very small, still the number will be considerable. As a result, we may expect there could be some airplanes crashing, automobiles out of control, wives or husbands in a panic, children left with no parents, or some parents left with no children.
Most believe the bodies of the raptured people will disappear. A few believe the bodies will just drop over dead.
There will be some "so-called" Christians—whose lamp went out—that will recognize the Rapture happened and that they were left behind-ref Mt 25:8-11. They appear to be terrified and shocked. It can be expected that some will be screaming and crying. What lies ahead for the world is the most horrifying and disastrous time that the earth has ever experienced since man has existed.
We can only speculate just how this will affect the world and what explanation will be given by the world’s leaders and news media. It is undoubtedly true that most of the world will not believe such an event as the Rapture really happened.
