Thank you to Veterans of any War for Your Sacrifices

Thank you to the veterans of any war!  You gave of yourself generously for the sake of those of us enjoying the freedoms of this great nation: you gave your energy, your training, your selflessness, in service of your country. May God now give back to you in the measure that you gave of yourself and continue to give of yourself to your families, to the civic and church communities in which you live.
For your sacrifices, may God give you an inner strength and continued courage to meet the everyday challenges of your life; for your selfless service, the gift of ongoing generosity by which you receive as much or more than you give.  May you know the depth of God's love for you by the love of family and friends and by the love you continue to share with those facing difficult moments in their daily lives.

To those still serving, may God keep you safe and bring you home to your families a stronger, wiser, and more compassionate person than when you left. May your family also have grown in these virtues as they grieved your absence and longed for your return.

God bless you!
