Amen, dear Norski.
I lift up all of our veterans from the American Revolution, the French and Indian War, the War of 1812, through the Civil War, the World Wars, Korea, Vietnam, Desert Storm, Afghanistan and Iraq, and conflicts in between, among whom are many of my personal friends and family members, and those of many intercessors here. We honor their memory or their lives among us as survivors, and thank them and You, Lord, for having "preserved us a nation."
I pray a special prayer, Lord, for the soul of John P. Wheeler III, West Point graduate, veteran and former Assistant Secretary of the Air Force, whose efforts brought about the funding and installation of the Vietnam Wall in Washington, DC. May his murderer be discovered and brought to justice.
I also lift up today the new Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller, a Special Forces veteran, his newly-appointed staff, and the entire personnel of the Pentagon under his watch. Turn their hearts always toward the Constitution, the People, and most importantly, the voice of the Holy Spirit.
Amen in Jesus' name.
