This is a moving speech and video. It gives me chills and puts a lump in my throat. Please listen.
Memorial Day is more than just the start of Summer. Please make sure your children know what is the significance of this holiday and please pause and remember those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom.

This new article in Stars and Stripes [http://www.stripes.com/news/us/why-do-transgender-people-join-the-military-in-such-high-numbers-1.366477]explains why. It turns out that “nearly 150,000 transgender people have served in the military, or about 21% of all transgender adults in the U.S.” By comparison, “10% of the general population has served.” The numbers will certainly increase once the Pentagon officially lifts it ban on transgender service members. Most of the transgender service members are male to female. I guess joining the Army might not make a man out of you after all. It might be just the opposite. Does the military have to be 90% transgender before evangelical Christians finally say that perhaps it is not a good idea to encourage Christian young people to join the military?
