By Fr. Robert (James) Altman, The Wanderer - Dear family, in view of Veterans Day, let us pray to honor veterans of all services and wars in thanksgiving for all their sacrifices made. For one cannot even enter into training for war without sacrificing a portion of one’s own freedom and without sacrificing irreplaceable time with family and friends, and those are spiritual wounds indeed... And all those who enter into war itself are wounded in one way or another. So many wounded in body. So many wounded in spirit... Thanks be to God, when dark forces rise, men, and now women, of generations past and present, have come forward to battle against such forces to defend and protect our lives and our liberty.
