Thank you for the opening posts and prayers.
It is sobering to realize there are no "safe" moments in the lives of those who are dedicated to the ideals of freedom for all.
Our wonderful men and women in the military live and breathe their values, trying to ensure it for others.

Father, we entrust today's warriors to Your care, asking for Your Presence in their every day. Give to them wisdom and strength and comfort in all they experience, and shield them from those who answer to the evil one.

Father, be also with their families in these tense and troubled times.

Lord, we thank You for those like ladtx and his sons who answered the call, and for all those lost in causes for the good of many.
While many chose to not see how oppressed the persons of Southeast Asia were under the sweeping advance of communism, their actions were not in vain.

Had they not stood in the gap, we well might have seen a more desperately troubled world, and have been overwhelmed in trying to stop the further advance.

Help us, and America, to stand firm against evil in whatever form it is presented.
Guide our President and our leaders in all things.

We thank You for hearing our prayers. Amen.

Good morning, Meg. Thank you for the early morning prayer, and Amen.

I pray these terrorists/cowards are soon captured and/or killed, and order and peace can be carried out.
