Last year, 2009, I went outside on Memorial Day and was enraptured to look up and see that jets from the nearby Air Force base had flown perpendicular to each other, released trails of smoke, and formed a cross across the sky from horizon to horizon. Honor the fallen.
This year, 2010, I looked up to see a perfect blue sky. There was no cross. What happened? I’d like to find out. Were the pilots under orders to be neutral in matters of religion? Like they were told at last year’s God and Country celebration: Don’t do a fly-over for a sectarian event. Since when did God and Patriotism become sectarian. It is simply one other sign of the forced government secularization of society.
“The heavens, they are the Lord’s! But the earth he has given to the children of men.”
Good thought.
