Thank You to Our Veterans
Every year, on the eleventh day of the eleventh month, America pauses to honor our nation’s veterans. The date for Veterans Day is deliberate; it marks the signing of the armistice in 1918 that ended the hostilities of World War I. It is a day to honor the veterans of all wars, but especially those still living.
Sadly, the “war to end all wars,” as World War I was known, failed to accomplish that goal. Our nation has continued to require the military service of men and women in every generation since then.
Today, we live in a world tormented by tension and conflict, an age rife with political instability and war around the globe. And yet here in this country, we are free. For that we owe our gratitude to those in every generation who have stepped forward, taken an oath, and put their lives on the line throughout the history of our nation.
The present generation of service men and women has endured years of war throughout the Middle East, in addition to being deployed around the globe. They have answered our nation’s call again and again, at home and abroad, tour after tour.
We at Bibles for America particularly hold dear their sacrifice to protect our freedom to worship God, read the Bible, and spread His Word across this nation. We don’t take this freedom for granted.
And so we’d like to take the opportunity to thank our veterans and their families. We pray for those who are suffering from the wounds of war and facing another kind of battle at home—this time to find work, adequate health care, and meaning in civilian life. We appreciate you. We have not forgotten you.
We hope our free study Bible and free Christian e-books would be a source of spiritual comfort, healing, and nourishment for you. We encourage you to share this post with any veterans you know.
May God bless our veterans and their families with His salvation and the full knowledge of the truth. From all of us at Bibles for America, thank you for your service.
