Today, we pause to honor and express our deepest gratitude to the brave men and women who have served in our nation's military. Their sacrifices have ensured the freedoms we cherish every day.
In many restaurants, you may notice an empty table set with a white cloth, a single red rose, and an inverted glass. This poignant display is a tribute to our fallen, missing, and imprisoned military members.
Each element holds significance: the white cloth symbolizes the purity of their motives, the red rose represents the blood they shed, and the inverted glass signifies their absence.
As we reflect on their selfless service, let us be reminded of the words from John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one's life for one's friends."
May we carry this spirit of love and sacrifice in our hearts, not just today, but every day. We invite our community to join us in prayer and thanksgiving for our veterans and their families.
Thank you for your courage, dedication, and service. You are in our thoughts and prayers
