Good morning my RP Family. A glorious Veterans Day to all my friends who served. You are my brothers and sisters for Life. It has often been said that “There are only two defining forces that ever offered to die for you: Jesus Christ and the American soldier. One for you soul and the other for your freedom.” To that, I kneel at the cross in prayer to my Lord and Savior and stand at attention and give a hand salute to all who have served and those who continue to serve.
I offer seven Bible verses for US Veterans and Soldiers today.
Have a blessed day today and always.

I pray that you and I respect, honor and salute those people whose shoulders support us in faith and service over the generations, my friend and brother-in-Christ PO1 H Gene Lawrence and sister-in-Christ Linda Lawrence.
I pray that we each are maturing in the faith gracefully.
LORD I pray for a fresh infilling by YOU Holy Spirit for each of YOUR adopted sons and daughter. Empower us: to serve those in need of service; to listen attentively to those who need to communicate; and to encourage those who have poured out their life in service to their community and this nation.
I pray dear God, that neighbors and neighborhoods are coming together to bridge differences and focus on what unites us as Thanksgiving approaches.
I am thankful LORD that YOU are working all to good for the body of Christ corporately and each of us individually.
I pray that schoolchildren across this nation are learning the true heritage of Thanksgiving at home and in schools. I pray that each one of us is thankful for good and bad that has and is befalling us.
I pray that each one of YOUR adopted children and their loved ones sleep well tonight.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ.

Good Monday morning COL Mikel J. Burroughs from an overcast sky here in the Boston Area with a temperature of 46° and it will only creep up to 52° at noon and then cool back down... Ugh!
A very appropriate Quote Topic for Veterans Day, my friend... "Salute Day!"
1) "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them." - John F. Kennedy
2) "In the beginning of a change the patriot is a scarce man, and brave, and hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds, the timid join him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot." - Mark Twain
3) "Above all, we must realize that no arsenal, or no weapon in the arsenals of the world, is so formidable as the will and moral courage of free men and women. It is a weapon our adversaries in today's world do not have." - Ronald Reagan
4) "It doesn't take a hero to order men into battle. It takes a hero to be one of those men who goes into battle." - Norman Schwarzkopf
5) "I am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." - Douglas MacArthur
6) "The willingness with which our young people are likely to serve in any war, no matter how justified, shall be directly proportional to how they perceive the Veterans of earlier wars were treated and appreciated by their nation." - George Washington
'Ten-hut! Hand Salute to all Veterans!
"Let us stand and salute the Red, White, and Blue; and our brother and sisters who served, those who still serve today, and those gave all under this symbol of freedom — God Bless you all!" — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
