Sue A. sent me a link to a wonderful rendition of the Battle Hymn of the Republic done by an elementary school choir, high school choirs and a band. If you can, open a link in another window then return here to read the prayer (page 77 in Evangelical Lutheran Worship):
Almighty God, we commend to your care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad, especially: Nick W., Chris R., Andrew C., Chris C., Chaplain Kay R., Jonathan V., Caleb W., Dr. Marc B., Loree L., and Brandon V. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils that surround them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ, our Saviour and Lord. Amen.
The photo is of the United States of America flag that flies over the U.S.S. Arizona memorial in Pearl Harbor, Hawaii.
