On this memorial of St. Martin of Tours, soldier turned monk and founder of monasticism in Gaul, we remember our own veterans who have stood up for their beliefs and offered their lives for our country and the freedom and liberty of all peoples. We remember as well, those who are serving currently overseas and in our own homeland, both arenas of danger and potential death. Let our prayer be one of gratitude for the selfless generosity displayed by our service men and women, and let us seek the intercession of St. Martin for their physical safety and spiritual well-being. Let us also do something special today to honor the members of our own families or circle of friends who have served or who are serving our nation: a visit to the cemetery, attendance at one of the local parades, a phone call, a letter, something simple to mark the valor and extraordinary dedication of these fine men and women.
"God bless America, land that I love..."
