As we observe Veterans Day, we take a moment to honor the bravery and sacrifices of those who have served in the armed forces. Their courage and dedication to protecting our freedoms inspire us to reflect on the true cost of liberty and our responsibility to uphold it.
Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they’ve suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have done for us.”
– President Ronald Reagan
Dear Lord,
Today we honor our veterans, worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country.
We pray that you will bless them for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety, and our country’s heritage.
Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made, for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression.
We pray that you will watch over them and bless them with peace and happiness.
