A soldiers prayer
brave warriors, should fate find us in battle,
may our cause be just
may our leaders have clear vision
may our courage not falter
may we be triumphant and earn victory
as we show mercy to our enemies
may our efforts bring lasting peace
may our sacrifice be always appreciated by those we serve
may we return to our loved ones unharmed
should we be harmed , may our wounds heal
should we perish in the struggle
may god embrace us and find for us
a place in in his kingdom

 

Amen!

 

Amen!

 

I posted this thread back in Feb. I have since returned from my tour in Iraq. I don't have any great war stories to tell or any heroic episodes to brag about. I just did my job and returned home safely to my family. But there are many of my brothers and sisters that have not been as fortunate as I have and some that are still in harms ways. I have one request for anyone that reads this...pray for them all, they deserve it.

 

You've got it! Thanks so much for your service!

 

A sincere thank you to not only you, but to each and every soldier in every rank and each branch of service. Though you are underappreciated by many, not by me. I wish you safe passage til your retirement, and then some!

Amen !

 

Great prayer Cantsleep, I will be getting out of Afganistan in about 2 more months. For those that are deploying or are already out here or Iraq, good luck and safe tour, oh, and kick some A$$ so we can get this wrapped up.

 

It was written on my wall locker when I got to FOB Diamondback last June, just thought I would pass it along.
