“We always thank God for all of you and continually mention you in our prayers” (1 Thessalonians 1:2).

 

 Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering those who died while serving in the country's armed forces. The holiday, which is observed every year on the last Monday of May, originated in 1868 to honor both Confederate and Union soldiers who died in the Civil War. After World War I, it was expanded to remember those who have died in service to our country in all wars. This Memorial Day, It's important that we remember, and teach our children that the freedoms we enjoy come at a terrible price.

Also, please pray for those now serving around the world in the U.S. Armed Forces. 

 

Love, Jerry & Dotse
