Tomorrow We Honor Our Heroes on Veteran's Day,

Giving Thanks To God!

"Heavenly Father,

Today we give thanks for the brave men and women who have served our country. We honor their courage, sacrifice, and dedication to protecting our freedoms. Bless our veterans, those currently serving, and the families who stand beside them. Bring comfort to those who carry the wounds of service, peace to those who have lost loved ones, and strength to all who serve. May we never take their sacrifices for granted. In Jesus' name, Amen."

"Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends." John 15:13

Thank you to all who have served. May God bless our veterans and the United States of America.
