On This Memorial Day We Remember

By Cheryl Freier, author of The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems

From the shores of Italy’s coastline to its precious mountains with deep, and magnificent, and scenic mountain paths, to the sandy shores of Normandy, France, while the swoosh of the water goes on continuously with its own force, and will, and speech:  hear the sound of the words being pronounced:  freedom rings out loud and clear as the sounds echo to and fro: sharing that message from mountain top to mountain top and the deep throughout the seas—all over the world.  Shout out the word freedom as others shouted 64 or so years ago, when as soldiers they disembarked from the ships coming near ashore—–ready to fight for freedom, and willing to die for the cause of freedom, and to liberate Europe from the Nazis.

Oh, of prayers and angels standing by our sides as we salute the soldiers who fought for us in wars to preserve our freedom.  On this Memorial Day we remember.  Cheryl Freier is the author of four historical fiction novels.  All books are written in memoriam to her husband, Martin Freier, who was a survivor of the Holocaust.  One of the novels, The Day Of The Hidden Truth Poems  includes poetry that Martin Freier wrote.

                Some Information On The Discovery Of Insulin As a Treatment For Diabetes  Written by Cheryl Freier, author of The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems

The vast majority of our adult population remembers the living nightmare that the fear of catching polio was. Thankfully, two bright doctors, Dr. Salk and Dr. Sabin discovered cures.  No child has to suffer the debilitating, crippling effects of polio any longer.

Before the discovery of polio as a disease, the nightmare killer disease for children as well as for adults was diabetes.  People had been dying of diabetes for centuries, and the discovery of insulin as a means of regulating the blood sugar levels in the body was finally discovered in 1923.  In 1923 the Nobel Prize was awarded to Dr. Banting and Dr. Macleod for the discovery of how to extract the hormone insulin from the Islets of Langerhans.   The hormone treatment was then used for insulin injections and saved hundreds and thousands of lives. 

My husband must have had diabetes before the onset of cancer of the pancreas—most likely.  I am committed to many causes:  first is the memory of my husband and the goodness and honesty that he stood for.  Read my books which are written as a memoriam to him, Martin Freier.  The first book written was The Grayling Hidden Truth Poems.  All of my books can be purchased from the publisher, Author House, or Amazon.com, or Barnes & Noble.  Thank you.
