Today we honor and remember the brave service members who gave their lives in duty to our country. May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue to pray for the families they left behind. “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13
On Memorial Day, we take time to remember and reflect upon the sacrifices of those who have given their lives in service to our country. In commemoration of today, the Presbyterian Historical Society is sharing this 1969 photograph snapped by the Religious News Service at the National Cemetery in Arlington, Virginia, during a Memorial Day commemoration service. The caption reads, “This scene will be repeated in every U.S. community on May 30, Memorial Day, when the nation pauses to remember its dead.”
