We thank you Lord for the freedoms we have as Americans. We thank you for this great country founded on basic principles such as Liberty and Justice for All.
Over these many years our nation – under God – has had our freedoms attacked and we have had to fight and defend our rights and our freedoms as Americans. And today – this day – we set this time to honor the men and women who have been at the forefront of the battles to keep America free.
We honor our veterans. Whether they served two or three years or 20 or 30 years we acknowledge and appreciate their service to our nation. Our veterans gave of themselves. All gave some and some gave all.
And whether they served in wartime or in peace, we know America is a richer and greater nation because of the sacrifice of our military men and women. We pray Dear God that as we honor and appreciate those who served; that you continue to guard and protect those currently serving.
We thank you God for the United States of America and for all our veterans.
Amen.
Nicely done.

Add “In JESUS’ Name we pray”. Heartfelt prayer.
Amen and a hearty Thank You to our great and courageous Veterans!
Amen! May all our vets, wonderful men and women, receive a special blessing from the Lord today...one that will lighten their burdens and brighten their lives.
Dittoes on “In Jesus Name”. Thank you for your service and your testimony to others.
Throw in a silent prayer for our fallen brother, 2nd Division Vet. I was a military piker and wannbe compared to that man. Which reminds me, I gotta renew my Legion and NRA memberships.
I would like to see prayers that the VA will soon resume the effective treatment of vets who suffer from chronic pain.
Thank-you for your service.
Amen
Amen!
Amen.
Amen, And Thank You for this Prayer to all our Veterans.
Amen!
From my friend’s father who was a Korean War Veteran:
This United States Marine
It was his first night in Korea,
The stars were bright and clean;
The very first night of combat,
For this United States Marine.
The moon was high above the mountains
And glistened on the snow
That covered the rocky hillside
And the valley down below.
Then he heard their bugles loud and clear
That echoed through the night;
He saw the rocks turn into men
And he held his rifle tight.
The flares lit up the valley
And he saw the quilted men;
He raised and fired his rifle once,
And then fired it once again.
The human wave came up the hill,
Each step brought them higher;
They seemed to take no heed at all
To the land mines and barbed wire.
He fought them hand-to-hand
With knife and bayonet
Until the ground around his feet
Was dark and red and wet.
He drove them from the bunkers
Till up they came no more,
And twisted, quilted bodies lay
Upon the valley floor.
He stood there silently and looked
At sights he’d never seen;
He had held his ground against all odds,
This United States Marine
