A prayer to a vet
A prayer from a Vet
Lord this is a thank you for all you have done to aid the duties of your Military subjects. While in the duty of our mission for God and Country, we thank you for your guidance and counsel. We pray and thank you for your protection while in harm’s way. We pray that you will look kindly on our fallen and injured. We the US Sailors, Marines, Solders, Airman and Coast Guard need your hand on our shoulders, your eyes to guide us and wisdom to make the correct decisions to enable us to honor you in our service to our Christian Countrymen and Country.
William A. Prouty
A Navy Vet – Cold War
