Armed Service Day
“And
what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel,
and of the prophets:
Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises,
stopped the mouths of lions, Quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of
the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to
flight the armies of the aliens.” (Hebrews
11:32-34)
Today’s Morsel:
Armed Forces Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in May. Thanks
to President Harry S. Truman, it’s a day to pay special tribute to the men
and women of the Armed Forces. President Truman led the effort to
establish a holiday in order for citizens to unite and to honor our military
heroes for their patriotic service in support of the United States of
America. In addition, the first Armed Forces Day also played an essential
part in educating society and expanding public knowledge of the military and
the role they play in the community. Therefore, it wasn’t only a means to honor
those who serve or who have served in the military, but also a way to showcase
its top of the line equipment and abilities used to protect those in our
country. The importance of this day should always be evident.
It is a day that our military members rightly deserve and it is essential that
we celebrate it accordingly. We salute and honor our military members
today. Thank you for your service.
Sing: Thanks!
Thanks! I give You Thanks, for all You have done. I am so blessed, my soul has
found rest, O’ Lord I give You thanks.
