President signs documents in the Oval Office

President Donald Trump released a presidential message on National Employer Support of Guard and Reserve Week. “Since before the birth of our republic, the National Guard and Reserve have stood as our first line of defense against forces of tyranny, invasion, and violence. From their origins in colonial militias to their service fighting for our interests abroad and cleaning up the streets of our crime-ridden cities, our courageous Guardsmen and Reservists have been indispensable to the survival of our way of life,” the president said in the statement.

During this week, the president highlighted the importance of businesses that hire “these citizen Service members—and we offer our thanks for their steadfast commitment to keeping America safe, strong, sovereign, and free.” The president continued, “The flexibility and understanding of these employers—often despite sacrificing their own bottom line—is a testament to their integrity, patriotism, and unwavering commitment to defending our homeland.”

“This week, we offer our heartfelt gratitude to the extraordinary employers of our Reserve force for their valiant work on behalf of our liberty, safety, and peace,” the president concluded.

As the Lord Leads, Pray with Us…

  • For God to be at work in President Trump today.
  • For God’s hand of protection and mercy to be on all who serve in the National Guard and Reserve.
  • For thankfulness for all the nation’s employers and small businesses who support the National Guard.
