A special thank you goes out to the dedicated staff who spent countless hours planning and preparing to ensure the ceremony honored the courage and sacrifices of those who have served.

Jesus doesn't ask us for "more". We can't impress him with an amount of money or prayer or behaviour. What impresses Jesus is someone who gives everything they have, even if - especially if - that's all you can give.
