In the words of one of the readers at the prayer service, “Our veterans show us the profound importance of service to others. They do not seek recognition for their accomplishments, instead do what is asked of them for the betterment of the United States of America. May we be inspired by your unwavering commitment, selflessness, and sacrifices made to protect our freedom.”
