Communities Mark Memorial Day

                Communities honored the sacrifices of fallen American soldiers during Memorial Day programs Monday.

                Chicken barbecues, pancake breakfasts and peppy parades in the hot sun made for wholesome family fun. But there were also ceremonies saluting the war dead at ceremonies in Palmyra, Deerfield, Blissfield and Riga.

                “It’s very humbling to think of those who have come before us and have given their lives for this country,” said Pastor Tom Frantz, of Blissfield Baptist Church, addressing the crowd at the Riga Memorial Day program Monday afternoon. “I consider myself to be so unworthy to even speak on their behalf when they’ve given so much and I’ve enjoyed so much as a result of the privileges we have.”

                Frantz said adults carry a tremendous responsibility to remind the younger generations of the selfless sacrifices that make America “the greatest country in the world.”

                “We might not like everything the politicians do, but we have the ability to speak up or grumble about it, because men have gone before and given their lives so that we can have a country, such like we have,” Frantz said. “Let’s never forget the amazing sacrifice that was given, but also be reminded that it was by God’s grace.”
