Your staff and crook are there to sooth me. Let us pray. All powerful ever living lord of all, may you guide this time this gathering as we remain mindful of the cost paid for our liberty.

May these soldiers, their acts of heroism continue to form the fabric of our nations unfielding devotion to protect the dignity of all human. Of life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
