HONORING THOSE WHO SACRIFICED FOR WHAT

WE HAVE TODAY

Remember

These men and women died for their dreams and values.

What was it that Jesus was

willing to sacrifice for?

Jesus died for his Church as

much as he died for your salvation

As we honor those who have died for their country… let us honor Jesus who died for his church.
