Here's to the Heroes: A Military Tribute ... to whom we owe so much! We salute them all!

We shall not forget!

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

A gentle, humble and true reminder:
It's the Soldier, not the reporter
who has given us the freedom of the press!
It's the Soldier, not the poet,
who has given us the freedom of speech!
It's the Soldier, not the politicians,
that ensures our right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness!
It's the Soldier who salutes the flag,
who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag!

Note: Remember to mute the music - upper right. The following may be slow loading due to activity - be patient, it's worth it.
