Veterans Day

 

On Veterans Day we honor and remember the men and women who have served in our Country's armed forces. This is a prayer for members of the armed forces (Book of Common Prayer, pg. 823): 

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad. Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace; strengthen them in their trials and temptations; give them courage to face the perils which beset them; and grant them a sense of your abiding presence wherever they may be; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
