To my nephew, Keith, who BTDT for 2 years in Iraq!
To all of our brave men and women who go in harm's way that the rest of may live free. Never again will you be abandoned, forgotten, and shamed as those who returned from Viet Nam were treated. You are our heroes! May God wrap you in His arms and protect you from those who would injure or take your life. May God greet those who do lose their lives at the gates of Heaven with His arms open wide and offer you the peace and happiness your sacrifice has given us here at home.
Let those who would throw words and actions at you that demean your efforts not find the joy that knowing you did what was right and just and suffer in their own inner Hell the remainder of Eternity.
May our Commander-In-Chief and those commanders below him be filled with the wisdom to direct your efforts to the benefit of all who wish to live free and happy lives.
May God grant wisdom to the electorate as we exercise our right to choose our representatives and may He please, please help us to elect anyone but those rotten Democrats! And while you're at it, Lord, please save us from John Kerry and Hillary Clinton - one of which has to be the Devil incarnate, or maybe both take turns!
AMEN!! Sorry to eavesdrop on your prayer and all...but that sounds like the prayer regarding the heathens from "We Were Soldiers." :)
