I suppose I am somewhat partial to this day designated by President Truman in 1950 to commemorate the women and men serving in our military. Fifty years ago I was one of them. Today I was unable to find any reference to the Day in either of our Twin Cities newspapers. Sad. Over these past 60 years, American military personnel have served and sacrificed through peacetime and wars - and continue to do so in a world where tensions are higher than ever. They deserve our thanks and our prayers.
If you know someone currently serving in the US Army, Marines, Navy, Air Force or Coast Guard why don't you call them or their family and tell them "Thanks" and that you have been reminded this day to pray for them?
And thank you for praying for our troops, where ever they are serving.
Shalom - A reminder that they serve because there is no peace in this world.
