Honoring US Veterans Day

Armistice Day became Veterans' Day by an act of Congress in 1954. 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.

From the Presidential Prayer Team for Kids:
Since we are honoring Veterans this week in advance of Veterans Day, it’s a very good time to pray for all the veterans who have served our country so very faithfully, giving of their efforts and energy and their lives. Pray that they will know how grateful our country is, and pray that each one will have their needs—whether physical, emotional or spiritual—fully met by those closest to them. Pray that those who suffer with disability or other difficulty because of their service will receive all the services and support needed to help them live a full and good life. Veterans Day is also a great time to thank God for the blessings of freedom, because our veterans fought and sacrificed for us to have that freedom.

with thankfulness for those who have served as veterans~
blessings all~
