Mr. Payton started out by giving some of his family background, and then shared three stories of those who gave the their lives for their country, this great United States of America. These heroes were from WW11, Viet Nam, and Iraq. He ended by sharing how Jesus Christ gave his life as the ultimate sacrifice for all time: he was perfect yet died for the punishment for our sins.
Before leaving, the group decided they would make the next meeting a breakfast; Jose Velazquez of Napoli's had said he would be happy to provide breakfast that if that is what they decided.
