“I thank God for my life
And for the stars and stripes
May freedom forever fly, let it ring
Salute the ones who died
The ones that give their lives so we don’t have to sacrifice
All the things we love”
– Zac Brown Band “Chicken Fried”

Jesus told us in John 15:13, “Greater love has no one than this; to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”

Dear Lord, on this Memorial Day, help us all be grateful for those who gave their earthly lives to make the great America we have. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
