Veterans Day is a day we should pause to honor those who’ve signed up to serve—not knowing where that service would take them, or what it might cost.
Veterans carry scars (unseen too) and remind us that freedom often comes through sacrifice, and that strength doesn’t always shout.
Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one’s life for his friends.” John 15:13
Veterans have lived this verse. Their willingness to serve is selfless love in action.
So let us live out our gratitude — by showing kindness, by listening to someone’s story, by remembering the freedom their service helped protect.
Let us honor their courage by walking bravely in our own callings, whatever battles we face.
Because in every act of service, every moment of perseverance, we are reminded that courage still lives among us.
