Thanking our Military

We wish to take this time to thank God for all our men and women in uniform, over in the Middle East, as well as those here in the United States. Their allegiance and courage to the cause of freedom on foreign soil is greatly appreciated. For those who have paid the ultimate price, may they never be forgotten. Their sacrifices give hope while their absence still echo's in our hearts. Our Country owes them a debt of gratitude that can never be repaid. We are so blessed to have heroes as these in America. A special thank you to all our military. May the God of all comfort, comfort all those that carry this great burden and loss!
