 A PRAYER
FOR MEMBERS OF THE UNITED STATES MILITARY
Father in Heaven, watch over America's sons, daughters, husbands, wives, fathers
and mothers, in their hour of peril. Bring them home safely to their loved ones. Wrap your
loving arms around the wounded, and bring to your side the ones who have lost their lives.
Let their loved ones know peace of mind from the pain of having lost those who were so
dear to them. Let their children learn wisdom as they grow up without their mothers and
fathers. Amen
IN MEMORY OF
Thoughts and remembrances about our American soldiers
who have been killed or wounded in Iraq or Afghanistan.
