Beloved son of William and Jessie. Loving and caring brother. Lord, we thank you for our veteran, for his willingness to risk all so that our nation might dwell in peace and safety. May he find the honor and recognition he truly deserves. We pray that you will heal the physical and spiritual wounds some of this veteran have suffered. Bring a lasting peace to those who mourn the loss. Help them to find your love and mercy. Amen.
