Reflection for Monday, 5/25/26
Jesus said, “My command is this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” John 15:13 NIV
Did you know that over 1.3 million Americans have lost their lives in war? (military.com)
“A study from the National Institutes of Health estimates that, as of 2017, half of the men who die every day are veterans. As we remember America’s fallen troops on Memorial Day, we might also stop by and visit those who fought past wars and listen to the memories of their fallen comrades in arms — they may not be around come Veterans Day.” blake.stilwell@military.com.
Today, let us reflect on the sacrifice made by those who paid the ultimate price for our freedom. Also, let us honor all those brave men and women who are putting their lives on the line every day to protect us, the military, police officers, and firefighters.
THANK YOU!
