Armed Forces Day

Saturday, May 19th is Armed Forces Day in the United States of America. The denomination of Church I attend - The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod - will have a collection to support the Armed Forces Commission of our Church Body. The picture above shows three Military Chaplains conducting an Easter Service at Camp Eggers in Kabul, Afghanistan. (Please note this photo was released by the Department of the Navy).

I share this picture today to remind each of us that our fellow Americans, Sons, Daughters, Husbands, Wives and even Parents are serving in Harms Way on our behalf. No matter what denomination of religion you are involved in, please take the time this Weekend, and every day, I might add, to pray for our Heroes and use every opportunity to also actually support them. There are countless programs available and I am aware that may religious denominations have programs for our Nations Troops.
