Veterans Day cannot be the sole day to honor and remember in our prayers the men and women who have served with valor. On the front lines, they have risked God’s most precious gift of life for the sake of our freedom. They’ve returned home to their families as victors, celebrated by all for their courage.

On Veterans Day, let us thank and embrace the veterans who have served the United States of America valiantly. Let us carry on their vision of protecting the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Have a blessed Veterans Day!

Archbishop Hovnan Derderian

Primate
