Veterans Day

Honoring all Men and Women who have

bravely given their lives and

service for our country !

“Armistice Day became Veterans' Day by an act

of Congress in 1954, changing its purpose and

scope. President Eisenhower called on the nation

to remember the sacrifices of those who fought

in all our nation's wars, to celebrate the

contributions of all veterans of military service,

and to rededicate ourselves to the task of

promoting an enduring peace. It is Eisenhower's

call that remains the three-fold

purpose of Veterans' Day: remembering those

who fought and died, celebrating all veterans, and

promoting an enduring peace.”

Today and everyday we give Thanks to

our military service personnel, past

and present, and their families and

friends who love and support them!

God Be With You, Amen!
