Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

Their sacrifice reminds us of the words in John 15:13:
“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

We give thanks for their courage, hold grieving families close in prayer, and reflect on the freedoms their sacrifice helped protect. May their selflessness never be forgotten. 🤍

Remember those who defended liberty and justice for all. Peace, friends.
