Today, on Memorial Day, we pause to honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our nation. Their courage helped preserve the freedoms we cherish, including the liberty to worship, pray, and openly live out our faith.

As we remember those who gave their lives, we also reflect on the truth that true leadership begins with seeking the Lord’s wisdom and guidance. Scripture reminds us in Psalm 33:12, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord, the people he chose for his inheritance.”

May we never take for granted the cost of freedom, and may we honor the memory of our fallen heroes by striving to lead lives marked by faith, gratitude, service, and unity. Today, we remember. Today, we give thanks.
