Outstanding Veterans

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. John 15:13

Way FM Christian radio mentioned they had a veterans page on their website that you could give a shout out to an outstanding veteran you may know. As a Army veteran I am far from being a hero or outstanding but every single military veteran who took the oath of office to protect and defend their country from enemies both foreign and domestic and was discharged honorably,  is outstanding in my humble opinion. Training is not piece of cake nor is learning the discipline they instill in you. 

Veterans signed up to serve not knowing if they would be ever in harms way. Some served in peacetime like yours truly and I possess no fancy service medals,  but those called to combat and those guard members who were deployed and left civilian jobs to go answer the call deserve our utmost respect. Also those brave heroes who saved the lives of many with heroic actions. 

Jesus of course laid down his life for us as we are his friends. He took upon himself the sins of the world. Are you living for a greater purpose than yourself? Are you thankful for your freedom? Many laid down their lives or were severely injured in battle to protect what we believe in and stand for in America. Take time to visit a military cemetery if you live near one. Go to a Veterans Day parade if your community has one. We are indeed blessed. God bless America!

PRAYER: I thank you Lord for the gift of freedom. There have been moments our freedom was threatened. Thank you for the ability to worship freely and stand up for what we believe. In Jesus' name. Amen.
