Lord, we thank You for the men and women who have sacrificed their freedom—and even their lives—to secure ours.
We are grateful for the legacy of courage passed down through generations: grandparents, parents, aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, sons, and daughters who have served with honor.
As we remember those who gave their lives in defense of our freedom, we lift up those who are currently serving—especially those in harm’s way. Lord, bless them, protect them, and remind them that they are deeply loved by You.
Help us to support them well here at home by pursuing the kind of community and justice we are called to build—freely, because of their sacrifice. Bless them, bless their families, sustain them.
Comfort those who mourn today. We remember with gratitude those who, when given the choice, gave everything for others.
In the name of Jesus, Amen.
