Shady Grove plans Christmas Eve service
Danville News
I want to wish all of our troops and their families a merry Christmas and a happy, peace-filled New Year. I pray that this New Year finds our troops coming home to their loved ones and God’s blessings will be on all of the families who have lost a son or daughter in this war. The U.S. would not still be the home of the brave and land of the free without their sacrifices. We should never take our freedoms for granted. God bless America and may Old Glory wave proudly over our nation for all of the days of our lives. I also want everyone to pray for all of our troops who have returned home wounded from the fighting as well as their families.
