In the midst of sorrow and grief brought by death, a nation in a moment is uplifted and embolden in hope and faith with reminders and flashes of our goodness. Within four months our nation witnessed the death of two war heroes and political leaders, John McCain and George H. W. Bush.
Each of the aforementioned men had televised funerals with extensive and well deserved pageantry appropriate for their respective contributions to a grateful nation. Aside from the obvious televised events, the commonality between the two farewell funerals was the underscoring of the significant attention given to the great foundations upon which this nation was built.
People of all diversified backgrounds set aside those obvious differences and with one voice and a singular purpose we re-claimed the forgotten values of service, bravery and faith. McCain and Bush were men determined to protect a nation's fundamental values and its democracy. They understood that their personal journeys would be richer and fulfilled through service to others. Each man's military bravery is well documented in near death experiences. Faith was a simple but central component in the lives. They trusted and placed faith in their fellow man and acknowledge a Godly power, which is omnipotent.
The warm emotional feelings are found in love and service for others. We appreciate the humbleness noted in men of great accomplishments and our hope is unlisfted. Senator McCain and President Bush did their best to preserve a better life for coming generations. These two honorable men were void of empty boasting and bragging. Oh my, we pray and hope for the return of such leadership.
