No amount of sympathy nor amount of admiration is ever enough to express our thoughts for our noble men and women who subject themselves to the danger of going to war on behalf of the rest of us who are loyal to the United States of America.
We are praying for the families of all of the deceased named above and to their comrades-in-arms, co-workers at home and all who care about them. May each of them be prepared to reach-out to one another at this horrific time.
We are proud to render to each of them a proud military salute and we remain indebted to them for the selfless sacrifice each has made to their country.
May God's blessing be upon them and unending honor be bestowed upon all of our dedicated airmen, soldiers, sailors and Marines.

Feel His presence as God answers the prayers of many who have fallen to their knees on your behalf. Since the day of my son's death, I have carried every law enforcement officer and their family in my heart.

Every morning I go to my knees. During that time I pray:

“Lord, Be with all law enforcement officers. Keep them safe and free from harm. They are Your soldiers on the front line of the battle against evil. If one should fall this day - wrap their family in your loving arms. Surround them with Your angels, loving family, friends, neighbors and caring people to comfort them. Ease their pain. Help them to mourn well. In Jesus' name and for Your Glory, Amen.”

I have lifted you and your family to God every morning for over four years. Feel those prayers. God is with you; He knows and will ease your pain.

Our faith helps us to see beyond the grave.

A Prayer for Special Agent Peter W. Taub of the U.S. Air Force Office of Special Investigations:

We come here today to reverence and remember our fallen comrades who have given their lives in Afghanistan. As we recall the situation there, we are flooded, overwhelmed with a myriad of mixed emotions: anger, outrage,
frustration, bitterness, revenge, confusion and sorrow. Our initial reaction was probably a numbness of shock, a sense of disbelief. We are torn by the inner tensions of an Old Testament "eye for an eye" and a New Testament
"love your enemies." Jesus says: “Greater love than this no person has, but that life is given for others." We are a nation that believes in human rights, a nation which accepts the responsibility of being its brother's keeper, a
nation that cares enough to risk an Afghanistan. Based on these beliefs, we are a nation whose men and women respond at times with the ultimate sacrifice of laying down human life. We mourn their loss and the sorrow their loved ones now feel. We are fiercely proud of them, that in strange lands, befriended by few, assaulted by many, motivated by that sense of "greater love" they gave their lives in a cause of justice and freedom. Yes, we do reverence and remember them. Ones such as they make real the words that we are a "nation under God" striving for liberty and justice for all. May their names be boldly inscribed in the Book of Life and may their loved ones be comforted by the knowledge that they will not be forgotten and that they have not died in vain. Amen.

“Heroes Now and Then”

Some thought you did it for the paycheck,
Some thought you just had weekend fun,
There were those who didn’t take you serious,
But you trained for a job to be done.

Some of you are in the Military Reserves,
And some in the National Guard,
We never thought you’d ever leave us,
But you did when duty called.

You were heading for a possible battle,
We prayed you wouldn’t have to fight,
“Dear God, watch over our friends and loved ones”,
And help them make it through the night.

History was made in that desert sand,
It’s been awhile- a war we won,
You fought with your soul and all your heart,
It was without doubt a job well done.

Over 500,000 troops in “Desert Shield”,
But you were a few of our own,
You’ll never know how proud we were,
And so glad you made it home.

Some forty years ago there was another war,
And like now the troops returned,
But they didn’t get a heroes welcome,
They were cursed and flags were burned.




But you made us all proud to be “Americans”,
The yellow ribbons and the American flags,
From coast to coast the people cheered,
You got the welcome they never had.

So our friends be proud of what you did,
You showed the world we’re second to none,
The Iraq’s might not agree,
But to America –you are number one.

Then you were sent to Somalia Land,
A place of war, hunger and death,
You were sent to give a helping hand,
So as Americans you did your best.

Most were glad you came,
The world watched- America stood still,
It was only a peace keeping mission,
So why were Americans killed.

So let us thank the ones not coming home,
The ones who gave their lives for this land,
They died in Nam, Iraq- all over the world,
And they were proud to be “Americans”.
