Today, we honor and remember the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. As we reflect on their courage and selflessness, let us also remember the words of Jesus in John 15:13: "Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends."

May we hold their memory close to our hearts and strive to live in a way that honors their legacy. 🇺🇸🙏
