“America: Home of the free because of the brave.”

This quote is from a speech given by Col. Douglas McArthur McBride, Jr. 13th. ESC Commander, June 30, 2016. When I first saw this quote, I was taken and moved by the simplicity and honesty of it.  As we look forward  to celebrating Veterans Day this November 11, I think that it is important for all of us to remember that freedom is not free and it was bought and is protected for us by the service, sacrifice and lives of all of those who have served and are currently serving in our Armed Forces. Please remember to pray for these heroes of our freedom and when you see a Veteran remember to say: “Thank you for your service.” May God bless them all and may God continue to bless America.

God Bless you,

Fr Dan
