Oh God, Our Heavenly Father, You have blessed us with brave men & women who are willing to defend our freedom. May Your protection & grace surround them each day. Let Your healing hand be upon those who suffer wounds & injuries. May those who have made the ultimate sacrifice rest forever in Your Holy Presence. Comfort the families who mourn & are left to remember the precious lives of their loved ones. Help us to honor & support them. Let us ever be mindful of each sacrifice made on behalf of the American people by our sons, daughters, husbands, wives, mothers, fathers & friends. Amen.
