Today we remember the men and women who offered their lives in service to our nation, carrying in their hearts a love that reflects the words of Christ: “Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” (John 15:13)
Their sacrifice stands as a witness to courage, duty, and devotion that cannot be forgotten. We honor not only their memory, but also the families who continue to bear the weight of their absence.
We also look to our young people, who inherit the freedom secured by those who came before them. May they grow with gratitude, wisdom, and a sense of responsibility worthy of such a legacy. May they learn that true strength is found not in power alone, but in self‑giving love and service to others.
As we reflect today, may the Lord grant rest to the fallen, peace to the living, and guidance to the generations rising in their place. May their memory be eternal.
