U.S. Army Reserve soldiers present the colors for a farewell ceremony at Manhattan City Park in Kansas on June 22, 2024. 

With the July 4th holiday almost upon us, please take a moment to pray for the brave men and women in uniform who keep us safe. We are free because of selfless heroes like those we see in the above picture, who are willing to leave their families for months and even years at a time to serve in faraway lands. Thank you to all who wear our nation’s uniform, and have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
