Paying Respects to Our Nation’s Fallen Heroes

Happy Memorial Day!

On Focus on the Family with Jim Daly, we’re airing a recorded message by US Army Colonel Allen West, a retired military officer who received honors for valor, including a bronze star. He also served as a US Congressman and now works as a conservative media commentator.

Colonel West shares how to teach your children and grandchildren what it means to be an American. Instead of backyard barbecues, pool parties, or picnics in the park, take them to a National Cemetery or a celebration honoring the military. If we don’t tell the stories that communicate the cost of freedom, subsequent generations will never understand that freedom isn’t free.

Hear Colonel West honor the sacrifices of the men and women who have gone before us on your local radio station, online, on Apple Podcasts, or take us with you on our free phone app. After the message, we hear from family members of our fallen heroes who share their memories.

If you’ve lost someone who served our country, I pray the Lord will be your comfort. If you’d like someone to talk to, we have caring Christian counselors on staff, and it would be their privilege to offer you a free consultation. Our offices are closed today, but if you’ll call us tomorrow and leave your name and number, they’ll get back with you as soon as possible. The number during business hours is 1-800-A-FAMILY (232-6459).

We at Focus on the Family say thank you to all those who have served!
