I invite you to join me in prayer. Almighty god, on this day of national remembrance, we pray. Deliver us, oh lord, from evil men who plot evil things in their hearts. Maintain the cause of the afflicted and execute justice for the needy. Today, we thank you for the valorous attributes and actions of Sergeant Major, patrick payne, that indeed delivered the oppressed.

Your work through him not only preserved life, but preserved the legacy of his team and the ideals of our great nation. Nevertheless, we know that opposing evil comes with a great cost, so we pray that the ho
