U.S Marine Corporal Jared Beck of Ivanhoe gave the presentation reminding all of us to honor Veterans of all wars and to not take our freedoms for granted. He reminded listeners that someone has and is making sacrifices now, will be in the future and in the past; so that we can live in safety and freedom in America. He pointed out that he and the Veterans he knows have a deep love of country and allegiance to America which is heartfelt. He shared that every Veteran carries a story and a history that is rich in sacrifice and honor. For this and our many freedoms,  we as Americans should always be thankful and never take our many freedoms for granted. He also said to remember those who are currently serving everyday in prayer, not just on Veterans Day because while we can go to bed in safety, they might not have it so great. And he thanked all of the Veterans for their service.
