To America's Veterans

[Guest SUNTZU]

I want to say thank you to the brave men and women of our armed forces for being willing to defend my liberties. You have sacrificed time from friends and family for me. You have bled for me. Some of you have died for me. And you don't even know me. Thank you.

[Guest Bronker]

Truly...God bless all of those who have ever donned the uniform in the name of service of these United States. Your sacrifice will never be in vain, regardless of where this country goes in the future. I for one, thank you for your willingness to place yourself in harm's way to insure me, my wife and children have a safe place to lie their heads at night. God bless you and your families.

Amen.

[Guest Valkyrie]

God Bless the US military and their families.

PRAYER FOR THE SAFETY OF SOLDIERS

Almighty and eternal God,

those who take refuge in you will be glad

and forever will shout for joy.

Protect these soldiers as they discharge their duties.

Protect them with the shield of your strength

and keep them safe from all evil and harm.

May the power of your love enable them to return home

in safety, that with all who love them,

they may ever praise you for your loving care.

We ask this through Christ our Lord.

PRAYER FOR

THOSE IN ACTIVE SERVICE

O God, we beseech Thee,watch over those exposed to the horrors of warand to the spiritual dangers of a soldier's, a sailor's or an airman's life. Give them such a strong faith that no human respect may ever lead them to deny it or fear to practice it. Do Thou, by Thy grace, fortify them against the contagion of bad example, that, being preserved from vice, and serving Thee faithfully, they may be ready to meet death wherever it may happen, through Christ our Lord.

PRAYER FOR DECEASED VETERANS

O God,by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest,look kindly on your departed veterans who gave theirlives in the service of their country.Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of your Sonthey may share in the joy of your heavenly kingdomand rejoice in you with your saints forever.We ask this through Christ our Lord

No problem brother, we all serve in our own way and I'm sure you have in your own way.

[Guest flyfishtn]

Just simply, thank you for keeping America free.

[Guest Astra900]

John Wayne agreed :

Courage is being scared to death - but saddling up anyway.

[towerclimber37]

For my friends. I miss you all. I never see a sunrise or set on the towers that I don't realize that you're not here. so I look twice. In my heart I carry you all. I will live for you.

One of the most poignant things I've ever read was scrawled on a stone at a veterans memorial.

"Only God and a soldier will die for you".
