"With Honor and Gratitude"
On this Veterans Day, the Wilmington District Lay Council extends heartfelt thanks to all who have served in the United States Armed Forces. Your courage, sacrifice, and unwavering commitment have protected our freedoms and strengthened our communities.
We honor not only your service, but your continued impact—as mentors, leaders, and examples of resilience. We also recognize the families who stood beside you, whose love and support made your service possible. As people of faith, we are reminded of John 15:13: “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”
Today, we remember. We honor. We give thanks. May God bless our veterans—today and always.
