I am a pastor of a church in New York. I ask for your forgiveness for this kind of behavior on behalf of Christians worldwide. I thank you, soldiers, for your willingness to put your lives on the line in order to protect me, my family, my church, my faith and the faiths of others. I thank you for your sacrifices and I ask that you would not hold this behavior against us who are believers and followers of Jesus Christ. We love you and pray for your protection, guidance, safe return and healing from whatever wounds, emotional or physical, that you may have met with during your time in service of this country. Please know that the attitude displayed by the one congregation is not the attitude of us all. I am not thankful that any should have to die to protect me. I pray for the day to come when war will cease and this world will know true peace. Until that day, you will remain in our prayers.
Pastor Frank Lockwood
