Armed Forces Day 2012

Friday, 18 May 2012 11:36 Last Updated on Friday, 18 May 2012 12:24 Written by Judy McCloskey

History serves to illumine the present. Themes of Armed Forces Day in the recent past:

Appreciation of a Nation
Arsenal of Freedom and Democracy
Dedication and Devotion
Deter if Possible, Fight if Necessary
Freedom
Freedom Through Unity
Guardians of Peace
Lasting Peace
Liberty
Patriotism
Pillars of Freedom
Power for Peace
Prepared to Meet the Challenge
Professionalism
Protectors of Freedom
Realistic Deterrence
Representatives of the World's Mightiest Democracy
Security
Special Opportunity for Thanks
Teamed for Defense

And expounding on those themes are countless voices, from both Church and state, expressing profound gratitude for those who honorably serve in the Armed Forces today:

"Peace we want; but there is none apart from sacrifice. Peace is not a passive but an active virtue. Our Lord never said 'blessed are the peaceful.' But he did say, 'blessed are the peacemakers.'"
--Fulton Sheen, April 16, 1941
