Today we honor the brave men and women who have served our nation with faithful courage. May we hold their pain and wounds in sacred trust knowing they are living witnesses of their commitment and sacrifice to defend our country.
May this Veterans Day serve as a reminder that we are called to be people of peace, empathy and compassion. As we honor those who have served, let us continue to work and pray for the day when war no longer exists, keeping our eyes and hearts fixed towards Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace.
To all who have served – we thank you and pray that our Almighty Father bless and keep you in his loving care.
Sincerely in Christ, Most Reverend Daniel E. Garcia
