Wreath-Laying Blessing

Heavenly Father, on this Memorial Day we are thankful for the sacrifices made by so many throughout our history, for the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice, and for their families who had to carry on without them.  Today we remember the sacrifices they have made, and a debt we cannot repay.  Today we pray that God will bless the families of those who have lost loved ones while serving our great nation.   We pray for Him to bless and comfort the walking wounded who are still with us, and bless their families as well.  It is also our prayer that we continue to remember their sacrifices and the precious gift of freedom every day.   In Jesus' name we pray.  

 Amen.
