Resources for Veterans
"It’s important to remember that you are never truly “on your own.” Strengthen your relationship with your Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ. They are always right there with you. “Be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the Lord thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest” (Joshua 1:9)."
