A Veteran’s Day Salute

Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles

From a veteran who proudly served our country in the U.S. Air Force from 1965-1969 in Okinawa and in England — a Veteran’s Day salute to all veterans who have served and are presently serving our great country:

Veterans, we give thanks not only on Veterans Day, but every day for your sacrifice, that we might retain the freedom to serve our Lord and our fellow man in whatever way we can (1 Corinthians 15:58; Gal. 6:9-10 KJV).

Thank you, Lord for preserving our freedom to worship You, the true and the living God (Acts 17:24-28; cf. Isaiah 41:4; Isaiah 44:6-8; Daniel 4:34; Daniel 6:26; 2 Corinthians 6:16; 1 Thessalonians 1:8-10; 1 Timothy 3:15-16; 1 Timothy 4:7-11; 1 Timothy 6:17; Hebrews 12:22).

Through Your providential care, we pray that you protect our veterans from all hurt, harm, and danger, safely returning them back to their families.

May You bless the leadership of our country (1 Timothy 2:1-3) with wisdom (James 1:5; cf. Proverbs 2:1-6), that we may find ways to live in peace and harmony with our fellow man (Romans 12:17-18), in Jesus’ name we ask it, Amen.
