Lord Jesus, Among the gifts most treasured That you give to humankind, Thank You for the gift of freedom To seek You with heart and mind.

Please bless those who have served You And the sacrifices meant To fight against oppression and Moral truths make evident.

Grateful for all Veterans Who have fought for what is right, I ask that peace sought and longed for Be within their hearts and sight.

Through faith and Your compassion, May the struggles they have faced Give way to peaceful hopes and dreams As in prayer they are embraced.

Amen.
