WE COME IN PRAYER:  Almighty God, You have given us this good land as our heritage.  Grant that we remember Your generosity, be grateful for all Your blessings, and live an honorable life to Your glory.  This day we remember the sacrifices made by those who put their lives on the line for us.  We are grateful that many survived, and we shed a tear for those who paid the ultimate price.  May we never forget their devotion that has kept our freedom intact.  More importantly, we remember the sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ, Who paid a price He did not owe – to free us from a debt we could not pay.  Hear us for Jesus’ sake.  Amen.
