Responsive Reading for Veteran’s Day

            For all who have served in the armed forces to ensure our freedom,

We honor you.

            For the families who kept the home fires burning and provided continuous support for their soldier(s),

We thank you.

            For the wounds you have suffered at the hand of war

For the times of loneliness you have felt on the battlefields of life

            For the sacrifices you have made

For the times you were not thanked

            For the times you chose courage in the face of fear

For the times you were not shown compassion

            For the difficult decisions you had to make

For the losses you have suffered

We thank you now.

            We honor you now.
 

ALL:  YOUR SACRIFICE WILL NOT BE FORGOTTEN!

 

Congregational Prayer:
Keep all our veterans in your care today.  Grant them the peace they sought to preserve for others.  As we honor our veterans and all members of the armed forces, we also pray for peace.  Teach all your people the ways of peace that those who have sacrificed so much for peace and freedom will not have done so in vain.  We pray all these things in the name of your Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ.  Amen
