to them, and give up

Memorial Day 2005: Reading these and you know there's something about sacrifices that is so glorious I can't bear it. It's why I have such respect and awe for soldiers. Putting aside the personal contact, it's the ideal and the theory that one's life is made something more when given up for something less. The Word is clear on that point, too.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." {John15:13}
