Father God,
On November 11th we honor our veterans, 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 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 for their many different contributions to America's victories. We respect them, we thank them, we honor them, we are proud of them. We pray that you will watch over these special people and bless them with peace and happiness. We ask that those who have served our country will learn how you have served them in your crucifixion and resurrection, and they will put their trust in you. In Jesus' name, Amen.
