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!

Special videos for my Heroes - STOP music tracks, upper right; click back button at end of video to return here:
Our friend Brad Latham, Dallas, Georgia
Navy Capt. Michael "Scott" Speicher
of Jacksonville, Fla.; "We will be bringing him home."
The first American lost in the Persian Gulf War, when his FA-18 Hornet fighter jet was shot down over the Iraq desert on the first night of the 1991 war, over west-central Iraq on Jan. 17, 1991.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with Captain Speicher's family for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country."
We are extremely grateful to all those who have worked so tirelessly over the last 18 years to bring Captain Speicher home.
We must never forget
that freedom is not free!
