Honoring Our Heroes: A Veterans Day Reflection

By Josh Read on Nov 11, 2025

The freedom we enjoy today was not purchased cheaply. It was bought with courage, sacrifice, and the kind of love that runs toward danger instead of away from it. Veterans Day calls us to remember not only the battles fought on foreign soil, but the faith, character, and conviction of those who served. In honoring them, we are drawn to a deeper question: How does Scripture teach us to honor those who have given much?

Scripture: Romans 13:7, Mark 10:45, 1 Samuel 17:47, Ephesians 6:7, Isaiah 61:1, Philippians 1:3, John 15:13, Matthew 5:9, 1 Peter 5:2-3, Revelation 21:4  (view more)  (view less)
