Healing Rays Of Justice

American students should become warfighters for virtue. Especially today, our gratitude is directed toward heroines and heroes who have advanced the Republic’s noblest ideals via the Profession of Arms. 

 

Upon this day, the 104th anniversary of the World War I armistice, the world recalls the ceasefire at the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month officially ending a global calamity that claimed some 40 million human lives. Americans acknowledge the hallowed occasion as Veterans Day.

 

The commemoration is solemn at LCS. Our patriotic culture stems from 1997 when founding parents named the school “Liberty” and linked its character-education philosophy to American revolutionaries who pledged “our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor” in support of that for which the Republic stands.

 

Erudite students of history appreciate the essential role the warfighter has played in securing peace through these foundational principles – to protect the rights of the individual. Their ferocious defense against violence, as a final measure, becomes a necessary response to cerebral inadequacies misapplied upon the battlefield of ideas. It is there we should all aspire to be righteous, powerful, virtuous warriors – a battalion of honorable citizenship.

 

Arming Liberty students with formidable moral and intellectual strengths sufficient to foster harmony, preclude discord, avert bloodshed, and conclude violent conflict empowers them toward becoming courageous sentinels devoted to advancing life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness, equality under the law, and projecting the sun of justice with its healing rays. 

 

As they mature, Liberty students should not be terrified in confronting the disorders of tyrants who plague civilizations with wars and insurrections. Humanity has been assured nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; and, by our perseverance, we will secure our lives. 

 

There are an estimated 23 million living American veterans. To them, and to those no longer among the living, we express our most profound affection – this day, every day.
