"As we set today aside to honor and thank our veterans, let us be mindful that we should do this every day of the year and not just one."

Remembering our veterans is very important. Showing respect to those who have served our country and still do to this day is something that we should always keep in mind. This also can be said about our relationship with Jesus. Having Jesus on our mind everyday should come natural. Giving respect to God and thanking Him for what He has done for us is something we should do daily. Look at it this way, there are those who have died serving this country, right?  Jesus? He also died for us. He gave His life for this entire world. We don't deserve His grace and love, but Jesus gave it to us anyway because He first loved us.

John 15:13 (NLT)

There is no greater love than to lay down one's life for one's friend.
