Dear God, please watch over our servicemen & women around the world, particularly those in harm’s way. Bless them with physical, mental, moral, and spiritual strength. Bless their efforts with success.

Take to you the souls of those who are killed or die in our nation’s service. Comfort those who mourn them.

Ease the pain & suffering of those who are injured, wounded, and those who contract diseases in our nation’s service. Heal them quickly and completely.

This prayer is spoken by a retired General, who served two tours in Vietnam and had a distinguished career in the U.S. Army.
