About this sermon

A recent survey finds Americans' confidence in the US military is at its lowest point in 25 years. According to numbers from Gallup, just 60% of people said they were confident in the US military. That's the lowest finding since 1997. Among Republicans, the numbers are dropping even quicker. In the past three years, their confidence has gone from 91% to 68%.
