Lord, we come before you in pride and thanks.
We remember people who have followed
what they believed was right,
even when it meant the cost of their own lives.
Their sacrifice fills us with astonishment
and we give you thanks that such people exist.
Lord, we do not hide our pride and thanks.
We bring it openly to you

(Roddy Cowie, from Prayers for Remembrance Sunday)
