I shook hands with a real American Hero yesterday. At our church, Lake Norman Baptist in Huntersville, NC, USMC. Lt. Clebe McClary spoke on sacrifice, love for others and love for Christ. He told his story of how he lost his left arm and eye in Vietnam, how he maintained an attitude of gratitude throughout the years following the war.
Lt. McClary also paid tribute to one of our church members, USAF Cpt. Mark McDowell of Mooresville, NC who gave his life on 7/17/2009 when his F-15 Strike Eagle went down in Afghanistan during a low altitude night mission.
We all live in a give and take world. Who here is willing to give what it takes?
All gave some, some gave all!
Honor those who paid for your freedom with blood, blood that was shed on far away battlefields and on the Cross.
Happy Memorial Day! May God bless those who served the United States of Abundance.
