Honoring our Veterans

 

Thank you Veteran's!

 

Your service is a priceless gift,

hallowed by sacrifice.

 

Hearts spilling over in thanksgiving and remembrance.

May you be honored by the gratitude of a nation today.

 

Sacrificed for Freedom...

Today is Veteran's Day.  And on a day when it would be easy to just say Thanks to the Faithful Veterans, perhaps we might spend a moment walking in the steps of one of the faithful serving to protect our precious country.  

His name is Caleb Lufkin.  He was serving in Iraq in the spring of 2006 when an explosive device hit his humvee.  He was 24 years old...

His story could be told a thousand times over in the lives of so many service men and women throughout the years.  But Gratitude runs deeper for the heart-ache this one soldier leaves in his wake, for...

His mother is our cousin, Marcy.

Caleb is one of our own.  His sacrifice was ultimate...for our Freedom...

His loss sears our very hearts.

 

May we always remember that

Freedom is never Free.

 

Thank you, to each and every Veteran for your Faithful service to both God and this Country...

your devotion is steadfast and honorable, an inspiration and a gift.

And thank you to the family, friends and loved ones whose sacrifice continues to this day.

We honor your loss and your heart-ache...

May God shower Blessings of Abundance on you,

Moments of Peace, Memories of Love, Mercy-Gifts of Hope

 

THANK YOU FOR YOUR SACRIFICE!

 

My Favorite Veteran

In honor of Veteran's Day, I salute my very favorite Veteran of all time.

Leroy, I couldn't be more proud of your service to our country. But even more than that I am privileged to count you as husband and friend. You embody the discipline and heart of all it means to honor God, love your family and serve our country. I feel safe in your arms, cherished and blessed.

And I know we are some of the lucky ones. On this day we are reminded of the cost of war and dissension. How many in the military have given their all protecting our freedoms? And how many have spilt blood on foreign soil, leaving the arms of mothers and wives empty and aching? To these families, we owe a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid.

These soldiers gave their tomorrows for our todays...

And for those serving around the world this day, many stationed in conditions of turmoil and peril that we can't begin to imagine, we send our prayers. As they stand steadfast and strong in the fight to protect us from harm, we offer words of thanks from humbled hearts.

May God Bless the Soldiers and their families, keeping them safe in His arms until they All come home again.
