FR. DAN HOEHN | FROM THE PASTOR
Dear Brothers and Sisters, Tomorrow, November 11th, is Veterans Day – the day on which we, as a nation, honor our American soldiers for their service to our country. I am grateful for the heroic witness of the men and women from our parish who have fought (or are currently fighting) to keep our country safe, and to protect our inalienable rights. If you sometimes confuse Veterans Day with Memorial Day, hopefully the following explanation will help. It comes from one of our military moms, Kathy Teach. She and her husband, Terry, are volunteers in our St. Michael Military Ministry, and have two sons and two daughters-in-law in the military. Thank you, Kathy, for the following article!
Yes, There is a Difference Between out the year, but this weekend, we offer an extra prayer of deep and enduring gratitude to our Veterans Day and Memorial Day veterans. Near the east entrance of the church, Have you ever wondered what the difference is there is an updated poster listing of current active between Veterans Day and Memorial Day? While duty men and women who are family members of both patriotic holidays honor our military, parishioners. Their names are a visible reminder of Memorial Day, which is celebrated the last Monday the ongoing sacrifice made by our military. in May, specifically honors service members who To those in uniform serving today and to those who have died in battle or from injuries sustained in have served in the past, we salute you, we honor battle.
