JOHN
Good Morning! I’m John Branning, Lead Pastor of Central United Methodist Church. Today we celebrate Veterans Day, which was first celebrated on November 11, 1919, as Armistice Day and then changed in 1954 to our modern Veterans Day.
On this day, we as the people of the United States set aside time to remember that the price of freedom has been paid by every generation of Americans. It is right for us to remember the sacrifices that service to our nation requires of these men and women. Jesus said that no greater love could one ever have than to be willing to lay down their life for another, and truly that is what every veteran has done through the years.
I hope that today you will take a moment to thank our service men and women. I am proud to say that I am a combat veteran of the United States Army serving in Iraq from 2010-2011, and from one Veteran to another, I hope that this day is blessed above all others and thank you for your service to God and our Country.
