This Veterans Day, Saturday, Nov. 11, CBN’s Operation Blessing (OB) is honoring all veterans who have served, supported, and protected our country.
The Virginia Beach, Virginia-based nonprofit, humanitarian organization said it is privileged to work with many retired service members.
In a recent interview, three of those brave veterans shared with OB about their time in the military.
“I believe in this 100%,” said former U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Anthony Lloyd, Sr., who now serves in the position of OB director of U.S. Disaster Relief. “Everybody that’s served in our military—they have strong service DNA.”
“Back in high school, I felt like I wanted to serve my country because I wanted to keep the spirit of 1776 alive,” he continued.

Former U.S. Coast Guard Capt. Jeff Westling, who’s now OB’s current Chief of Staff, said he started thinking about the military as a career in the sixth grade.
“I was part of a Boy Scout unit at the time. Most of my leaders were veterans from World War II, Korea, and Vietnam,” he said.
