Those in uniform are comforted with Psalm 28. The Lord is my strength

and my shield. My heart trusts in him, and he helps me. I'm Dr. Russell Don, president of

Concordia University Chicago, with Christ at the center, we stand tall for the church.

Memorial Day is approaching. It sometimes causes confusion.

We have three official federal holidays associated with the U.S. military and honoring their

personnel in different ways.

Memorial Day, we have Armed Forces Day, and we have Veterans Day. What's

different about Memorial Day? And how can a Christian observe it? Welcome back to Issues, etc.

I'm Todd Wilkin, joining us to discuss Memorial Day, chaplain Craig Mueller. He's a retired U.S. Navy

chaplain, president of Chaplain Alliance for Religious Liberty,

and Director of LCMS Ministry to the Armed Forces.

Craig, welcome back.

Well, thank you, Todd. It's great to be here.
