Prayers going out for the friends and loved ones of our fallen 1st Infantry Division Soldiers,
and Marine.
Good job, 1st Infantry Division Soldiers - removing nine enemies, their weapons - their current and future plots to kill and disrupt freedom - from the streets of Iraq.
God bless and protect our warriors, civilian, coalition, and native allies!

~REGIMENTAL PRAYER
Almighty, merciful, and loving Father,
you are the one who hears all our prayers and grants our petitions.
We ask you to remember, as we do,
the tremendous sacrifice made by those who went before us.
They have given their lives so that we might live and breathe freely.
We ask you to receive them into your hands.
Father, give us the strength and wisdom to learn from their example,
to uphold freedom and life at home and around the world.
Keep us vigilant as we guard the frontiers of freedom.
Grant all of us courage and confidence.
and a strong shield for us against our enemies.
Oh heavenly Father, give us the determination
that the peace and freedom won at such a high price be lasting!
Father, hold all of the troopers in the palm of your almighty hand
and protect them in the shadow of your wings.
Amen.
Adopted from the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment,
Regimental Prayer.
