REMEMBERING OUR VETERANS

This coming Sunday we will take a moment in our worship to recognize the Veteran's in attendance.  You probably already know that Thursday, Nov. 11 is Veteran's Day.  Take a moment to thank a veteran because, the truth of the matter is...


It is the Veteran, not the preacher, who has given us freedom of religion.

It is the Veteran, not the  reporter, who has given us freedom of the press.

It is the Veteran, not the poet, who has given us freedom of speech.

It is the Veteran, not the lawyer, who has given us the right to a fair trial.

It is the Veteran, not the politician, who has given us the right to vote.

It is the Veteran, who salutes the Flag.

It is the Veteran, who serves under the Flag. 

It was never my privilege to serve in the armed forces of our nation, but I have only the highest regard and respect for those who did, and for the sacrifices they made.  Whether you worship here at Sugarloaf or somewhere else, make sure you find a veteran next Sunday and let them know how much you appreciate their service!
