On this Armed Forces Day, we thank you for the gift of those who have accepted the call to serve our nation in the armed forces. We thank you for the women and men who generously give of themselves in the effort to maintain our country’s freedom and encourage it to flourish and prosper. Bless all those who serve and their families and friends whose untiring efforts make their service possible. May we who enjoy the blessings of freedom always be grateful to those who help to preserve it. We pray in God’s name. Amen.
