Memorial Day


Memorial Day is a day of remembrance for those who have died in service to our country. The brief history of America has been protected by the men and women of our armed forces. PBC Voice takes this opportunity to say "Thank You" to all of those who have given their lives. We are grateful for your sacrifice.

"...The world will little note nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us, the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us...that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion; that we here highly resolve[d] that these dead shall not have died in vain; that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom; and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth." ~ Abraham Lincoln "Gettysburg Address"

There is no doubt that this nation owes an enormous debt of gratitude to those who have served and died. May God bless the families of the fallen and may He continue to bless the United States of America.
