Veteran's Day

Yesterday we celebrated the birthday of the USMC and today we celebrate our veteran's. Our country, in its foundation, was shaped first by the Word of God and secondly by the blood of patriot soldiers who gave their lives for the cause they believed in. Our country has always had those men and women who felt the call to defend and protect our borders. My own great-grandfather served bravely in WWI. He came home from war with hole in his knee and a metal plate in his head. He served his country proudly and he is a hero. Had it not been for those brave young men and women who flocked the military after Pearl Harbor, we may be waving a different flag over the White House today. War is never good and lives are always lost way too young, but I thank God that when battle is necessary we have those who will answer the call and fight for our freedom. I want to thank men like Clyde Smith who fought bravely in Africa and Europe during WWII. I want those in our church who have served our country to know today how much I appreciate their commitment to our liberty. Find a veteran today and tell them thankyou. God bless
