                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  O gracious and loving God, as we are in remembrance of the dedication 
and sacrifice of those of our military who landed in Europe 50 years 
ago, we are reminded anew that our precious freedoms and liberties have 
come to us from those who have gone before. With gratitude and praise 
we recall their acts of bravery and valor, of determination and 
courage, that checked the rise of evil in our world. We especially call 
to mind the memory of those who gave their lives and who never knew the 
opportunities of a full life or the gifts of the years. Bless all those 
who were faithful unto death and whose memory is alive in our own 
hearts and may Your benediction and eternal promise be with them and 
all Your people, now and evermore. Amen.
