Memorial Day

Post Cemetery, Ft Sheridan, Illinois.


Let us Pray


Father

Today, though we are not worthy, we remember those who have died in the service of their country, for it was your Son who taught us that he has no greater love than he who gives his life for another.

We ask that you grant eternal rest to those who have died, and that your perpetual light shine upon them.

We ask for strength and comfort for their families.

We ask that those who are missing and captured may soon be returned to their families.

We ask that those who are wounded have a speedy recovery and a long and happy life.

We thank you for those who have retuned safely home.

Lastly
we ask that we will never have to add to the list of those we remember this day.

Thy will be done.

We ask this through our Lord and Savior, your Son Jesus Christ, in union with the Holy Spirit.

Amen
