Preamble:

"Freedom is not free," said by the late U.S. Air Force Chief Master Sergeant Paul W. Airey, a Medal of Honor recipient. This statement holds true for the sacrifices that our nation's heroes made to ensure that we enjoy the freedoms we have today. On this Memorial Day, let us pause and reflect on the valor of our brave service members who paid the ultimate price to defend our country and the ideals we hold dear.

COT:

We introduced those we are honoring today and prayed for those who served that have passed. For all of your blessings of the past, O Lord, we give you honest and humble thanks. For our homeland, with its torch of liberty shining bright welcome to exiles and refugees of oppression and persecution throughout the world, we praise you. Through your providence, O Lord, you have given our nation a position of high responsibility among the nations of the world and we entreat you for strength to shoulder the burdens of duty which you have placed upon us. For the tenacity, courage, strength, and skill of fighting men and women who on wild seas and hostile beaches, in steaming jungles and mud filled valleys, on icy mountains and in rubble strewn cities, suffered and died for all the families of our land, we give you praise, O Lord, and in their memory dedicate ourselves anew to you, and our country. This we pray, Amen.
