Lord God, Creator of mankind and author of peace, We thank You today for our veterans —for their courage, their sacrifice, and their steadfast service. Bless those who continue to bear wounds of body or spirit; grant them healing, strength, and hope.
For those who have served faithfully, may they ever feel our gratitude. For those who serve now, grant protection and courage. For those who gave their lives, grant eternal rest. Guide us to honor their sacrifices not only with words, but with actions that uphold the freedom they defended. May Your gentle love and compassionate healing be with veterans and their families today and always. Amen.

In Faith, Hope, and Love,

Fr. Cliff
