The Marine Corps Verse:

Eternal Father, grant we pray
To all Marines both night and day,
The Courage, Honor, Strength and Skill
Their Land to serve, Thy Law Fulfill.
Be Thou the Shield forevermore
From every peril to the Corps!

This is the day which the LORD hath made;

A Blessed Lord’s Day To You And Yours!

Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

[ConorMacNessa]

I wonder if any of all the FRiends and Heroes who post on this Canteen are familiar with the story of The Twenty-three Angels?

The story was related to me by a fellow Navy 'Nam Vet 12 or 15 years ago and I have forgotten most of it. All I remember is that someone was in danger in Africa, apparently in the jungle with no weapons. During the greatest hour of danger, he was attended by twenty-three angels, who kept him safe from harm.

Ultimately he returned to America. He went to a church, maybe his own, and related the events of his trip to Africa, and that he had been protected by twenty-three angels in his hour of greatest danger. There he learned that during the time of his greatest danger, he had been prayed for by twenty-three of the members of the congregation of that church.

I'm sorry that I can't remember the particulars of that story in any greater detail. Is there anyone here who can fill in the gaps for me?
