"We live in a time of wars and rumors of wars. Many have personally felt the effects of
war and many more will likely participate in these conflicts. We are grateful for the personal sacrifices they
and their families have made in defense of freedom and liberty. especially during these challenging times.
We want them to know of our love and heartfelt thanks for their courageous and devoted service."
Col. Frank W. Clawson
Church Director of Military Relations
"A few weeks from now I will be sending a son as a missionary to Brazil and my husband as a soldier
to Afghanistan. As the mother of a missionary and the wife of a soldier, I am proud of their willingness to
serve God and country. Although I will miss them tremendously, I trust the Lord will bless and comfort
them while sustaining us back home. As they serve honorable causes, I place them in his care."
