God Bless all those who have answered the call and served our nation. Yet also, to Bless those families and others, who have remained behind to wait.
I also pray for all Americans to heal & rebuild the unity which makes and keeps us strong. "One nation, Under God, with liberty & justice for all."
Keep well and keep safe!
John
