Armed Forces Day
“Render therefore to all their dues: tribute to whom tribute is due;
custom to whom custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom honour.”
(Romans 13:7)
Today’s Morsel: Armed Forces Day is
celebrated on the third Saturday in May paying tribute to the military
personnel serving in the United States Armed Forces on active duty. The
celebration takes place each year during Armed Forces Week. The United States
Military is composed of six branches, including the Army, Airforce, Space
Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard. As of 2019, more than 1.3
million active-duty service members are stationed in the United States and
around the world. An additional 800,000 reservists stand ready in the
Army National Guard and the Air National Guard. The holiday unites the country
behind the men and women who currently serve in the United States military. Paul states that we
should render honor to whom honor is due. Our men and women in uniform deserve
to be honored. When we think about it, only two people were willing to die for
your freedom and rights. Jesus Christ and the American soldier. Today, we
salute our men and women in uniform.
Sing: Thanks, Thanks, I give You thanks, for
all you have done. I am so blessed my soul has found rest, oh Lord, I
give You thanks.
Thought For Today: Thanks for your
service to this great nation and its allies.
