In the quiet sanctuaries of our own hearts,

let each of us name and call on the One whose power over us

is great and gentle, firm and forgiving, holy and healing ...

You who created us,

who sustain us,

who call us to live in peace,

hear our prayer this day.

Hear our prayer for all who have died,

whose hearts and hopes are known to you alone ...

Hear our prayer for those who put the welfare of others

ahead of their own

and give us hearts as generous as theirs ...

Hear our prayer for those who gave their lives

in the service of others,

and accept the gift of their sacrifice ...

Help us to shape and make a world

where we will lay down the arms of war

and turn our swords into ploughshares

for a harvest of justice and peace ...

Comfort those who grieve the loss of their loved ones

and let your healing be the hope in our hearts...

Hear our prayer this day

and in your mercy answer us

in the name of all that is holy.

Amen.

More and more I sit back and think how life would be if we did not have brave mean and women fighting for our freedom in wars past and present. It makes me proud to come from a military family and be blessed that my family members are out there fighting for freedom. For those people that oppose the military just think how it would be if we had none......

Does this piss off anyone else, or is it just me?

Only wow is all I can muster up on this one!

And the one saying I think most of all during Memorial Day is "The true heros are the ones who never made it home"
