John Branning
Good Morning! I'm John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Today we
celebrate Veterans Day. On this day we remember those from every branch of service who have served
in harm's way to defend our freedom.
As a combat veteran myself having served in Iraq from 2010-11, I know what must be sacrificed to earn
the title of veteran. 21.5 million Americans can call themselves veterans and of that number 1.8 million
are under the age of 35.
Men and women of every generation have risen to the task of being defenders of freedom. It is our duty
as a nation and as the church to remember the sacrifice of those who have served on our behalf. I hope
you take a moment today and share with a veteran that you know a thank you for their willingness to
service.
As the Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church, I want to personally invite all Soldiers, Sailors,
Marines, and Airman and Veterans of every generation to worship with us and let us thank you for
your service.
