We gather today in a solemn act of remembrance and gratitude to honor those who have served in our nation's defense, risked their lives to save others, and made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
Their sacrifices will be forever remembered and honored by us and by future generations.
We stand united in our remembrance and gratitude.
Our thoughts and prayers are with those currently serving in our armed forces and their families.
Across our diverse faiths, we are united in our prayers for those who serve our nation today.
We humbly request that God grant them a safe and speedy return to their loved ones.
May God also grant us the wisdom to uphold the principles that have made our nation a beacon of liberty and harmony, inspiring the world.
Amen.
