Today is Veterans Day, and citizens of the United States will spend time reflecting on the sacrifices made by many men and women over the years; sacrifices that served to gain and maintain the freedoms we enjoy in our great nation. While the current pandemic will curtail many of the gatherings and celebrations that had been planned, nothing will diminish our appreciation for those who have unselfishly sacrificed so much for their fellow countrymen.

Let’s spend some time today giving thanks for our veterans and saying prayers for our men and women in uniform and their families, wherever they may be.

“Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”—John 15:13.
