A PRAYER OF PROTECTION

The light of God surround you
The love of God enfold you
The power of God protect you
The presence of God watch over you
Wherever you are,God is,
And all is well.
Amen.

Bless This House

Bless this house O Lord we pray;
Make it safe by night and day;
Bless these walls so firm and stout,
Keeping want and trouble out:
Bless the roof and chimneys tall,
Let thy peace lie over all;
Bless this door, that it may prove
ever open to joy and love.


Bless these windows shining bright,
Letting in God's heav'nly light;
Bless the hearth a'blazing there,
with smoke ascending like a prayer;
Bless the folk who dwell within,
keep them pure and free from sin;
Bless us all that we may be
Fit O Lord to dwell with thee;
Bless us all that one day we
May dwell O Lord with thee.

U.S. Forces Prepare All American Thanksgiving in Iraq

By U.S. Army Sgt. Gabe Nix
350th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment

AR RAMADI, Iraq – A turkey gobbles in the fields of Elletsville, Indiana, an area known for its contribution to the Thanksgiving holiday. A turkey translator interprets the gobble. “I wish to be part of the All-American Thanksgiving this year in Iraq.” Excitement for this year’s Thanksgiving feast is not limited to the turkeys in the field.

“This year’s All-American Thanksgiving will be a festive atmosphere,” says food service supervisor Master Sgt. Mack E. Sumler, “as well as a tribute to the 82nd Airborne and all of the soldiers who are serving here.”

The festive soiree features a Thanksgiving lineup that promises to bring the most disciplined paratrooper All the Way back for seconds. Included in the feast are thanksgiving staples such as turkey, ham, stuffing, glazed sweet potatoes, shrimp cocktail, and an assortment of deserts and drinks.

Kellogg, Brown and Root food service technician, Melvin Young is making the necessary preparations required to feed an army. He is planning on going through 4,000 pounds of turkey, 3,000 pounds of shrimp, and 4,000 hams. Young, retired from the U.S. Army, also said KBR is working hand-in-hand with army food service workers to make the event a success.

Charleston, S.C. -- Coast Guard Cutter Dallas, homeported in Charleston S.C., seized more than 4,000 pounds of cocaine from a go-fast smuggling vessel on Wednesday in the Central Caribbean, racking up their second successful drug interdiction in the last 10 days.

Early Wednesday morning, the Coast Guard recieved notification that a marine patrol aircraft was tracking a northbound go-fast. Coast Guard Cutters Dallas and Dilligence, from Wilmington, N.C., teamed up to assume the chase. Dallas launched an Over-The-Horizon small boat to chase down the suspects, who would not stop. The Dilligence launched their embarked HITRON MH-68A Sting Ray helicopter and crew to chase the vessel.
