I recently received an invitation to join in daily prayer specifically for our military, and do so with a sense of it being my privilege.
It takes no effort to expand one's daily requests to our Lord to build a specific hedge of protection around them in whatever their situations, as he did so many of His early warriors!
Coupled with the example of ladtx's devotion to his comrades, and his sons being part of "Our Family," and Trish and Sandy on active duty, it is a personal thing.
Knowing well the need, the prayers are made to cover the military's families and loved ones as well.
