Memorial Day...

Happy Memorial Day and THANK YOU to the other service members for their sacrifices-especially those abroad. Our prayers are with you. We pray for the safe accomplishment of your missions. Fight the good fight! We should all take some time on this day for reflection on those who went before us.
There are many great books out there but here are a few American Greats worth spending time in.

1. 1776 by David McCullough


2. The Federalist Papers - John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and James Madison
   
3. The Naked Communist by Cleon Skousen


4. The Legend of Sleepy Hollow by Washington Irving


5. Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose

There's a brief list...what others would you add? Which have you read? Washington Irving crafted the first true American Folk Classic with The Legend of Sleepy Hollow. He's actually buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetary-pretty cool. Skousen's Naked Communist exposes the evil of communism and how it spreads. This is a scary read because it was written nearly 50 years ago. The scary part is its relevance today. Undaunted Courage follows the stories of Lewis and Clark. Feel free to leave your comments below...here's the Picture of the Week...
