Veteran’s Day Tribute
On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918, an armistice, or temporary
Cessation of hostilities, was declared between the allied nations and Germany in the First World War, then known as “the Great War.” Commemorated as Armistice Day beginning the following year, November 11th became a legal federal holiday in the United States in 1938. In the aftermath of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day became Veteran’s Day, a holiday dedicated to American veterans of all wars.
Veteran’s Day is a time for us to recognize and honor those who serve or have served our country in times of war and peace. It is a time to recognize their courage and resolve in the face of incredible adversity. Let us honor the sacrifices they and their families make on behalf of our nation every day.
As Veteran’s Day approaches, our hearts go out to our men and women currently serving with a special prayer for their safe keeping.
Dear Lord, Today we honor our veterans,worthy men and women who gave their best when they were called upon to serve and protect their country.We pray that you will bless them, Lord,for their unselfish service in the continual struggle to preserve our freedoms, our safety,and our country’s heritage, for all of us. Bless them abundantly for the hardships they faced, for the sacrifices they made and for their many different contributions to America’s victories over tyranny and oppression. We respect them, we thank them,we honor them, we are proud of them,and we pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. In Jesus’ name we pray; Amen.

Despite our differences amid the political and social issues we are currently facing, may we build a future worthy of their sacrifice.
As always wishing you peace + and love.
