A Tribute to Our Veterans: Guardians of Peace and Freedom

Today, we gather to honor those special members of our community and nation who have served in our armed forces. These brave men and women represent the very best of what it means to put others before ourselves, just as Jesus taught us to do.

Like the Good Shepherd who watches over his flock, our veterans have stood guard over our nation. They have missed birthdays and holidays, endured scorching deserts and freezing winters, and faced challenges we can hardly imagine – all to protect the blessing of freedom that we too often take for granted.

Some of them are our grandparents who served long ago. Some are our parents, aunts, and uncles. Some are our neighbors who quietly live among us, never boasting of their service. They come from every walk of life, but they share one thing in common: they answered the call to serve when their country needed them.

Their service reminds us of important lessons from Scripture:
- They showed love for others in the greatest way, as John 15:13 tells us: "Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends."
- They stood firm in the face of adversity, as Isaiah 41:6 teaches: "They helped every one his neighbour; and every one said to his brother, Be of good courage."
- They served with honor, following the words of 1 Peter 4:10: "As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God."

Today, we make a promise to our veterans. We promise to remember their sacrifice. We promise to pray for those who still serve. We promise to care for those who have returned changed by their experiences. And we promise to teach the next generation about the true meaning of service and sacrifice.

Let us bow our heads in gratitude for these brave men and women. Let us remember those who never returned home. And let us ask God to bless and protect all who have served and continue to serve our nation.

Amen.
