The "Stars and Stripes" has created a "Corps of Compassion" to honor our Veterans,
First Responders, and all those who care about these heroes.
Holding our Veterans in the highest regard, the "Stars and Stripes" strive to honor and
recognize these heroes and their families. Through Christ, we seek to reinforce these relationships in our Catholic community by showing our appreciation for their service and sacrifice whether in peacetime or war.

God has blessed us with these heroes
and their families who have sacrificed
so much for our GREAT Nation!
They will always be a part
of the St. Thomas Parish and our Community.
This wouldn't have been possible
without the generous donations
from our parishioners and community partners.
With this Memorial, we will honor
all patriots and show our
unwavering respect for their service.
May God bless and keep America in his loving embrace.
Treasured Blessed Mother Prayer
Our Lady of the Americas,
be pleased to protect our country
from the dangers of war,
greed, prejudice and injustice.
Help all who live in this great land
to serve God faithfully,
to respect His holy laws,
to care for each other,
and to reach out with love,
caring and charity
to our brothers and sisters
who are in most need.
Grant that we may all live together in peace.
Amen
