Memorial Day (US)

Reflection

“This nation will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.”
–Elmer Davis

Prayer

God our refuge,

Many today are questioning the future of this nation and, indeed, of the world. What will become of the legacy left by those brave women and men, who fought so courageously to establish, preserve, and protect this beacon of freedom and democracy? On this Memorial Day, we pause to remember the sacrifice of those gone before us. We pause as well for ourselves, that we might bravely embody their memory in the choices we each make today—in our families, among our communities, and as a nation. To you, our ultimate foundation, we pray, Amen.
