Veterans Day

Nov 12, 2023    Pastor Chad Carter

‘“Veterans know better than anyone else the price of freedom, for they’ve suffered the scars of war. We can offer them no better tribute than to protect what they have won for us.”  Pres Ronald Reagan

* Well over 1 million Americans have died in warfare, the vast majority in just two conflicts: the Civil War and World War II*

* U.S. Armed Service members carry unique burdens. In addition to the obvious stressors of deployment, injury, loss, and trauma, they also navigate the quieter pressures of frequent relocation, separation from family, and reintegration into society after service. 

* From our nation’s humble beginnings until today, we owe are nation’s finest an immeasurable debt of gratitude.
