Their courage, sacrifice, and unwavering devotion have safeguarded the freedoms we hold dear.
Each veteran, known and unknown, stood watch so that we might live, worship, and walk beneath the blanket of freedom they so bravely secured.
For every moment of fear faced in the field, every tear shed in separation, and every life laid down for the sake of peace—our hearts bow in humility and thanksgiving.
May God, in His infinite mercy, bless our veterans and their families, granting them the peace that surpasses all understanding.
Let us never take lightly the cost of our liberty, and may our gratitude be not just spoken in words, but lived through service, compassion, and unity in our communities.
Eternal rest to the fallen, and enduring honor to the living—your service is our strength, and your legacy our freedom’s steadfast light.
In thy Holy name, I pray.
Amen
