                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, Rev. James David Ford, D.D., offered the following 
prayer:
  We remember with gratitude and appreciation, O God, the members of 
our Armed Forces who serve in our land and in distant places. We 
recognize their commitment and faithfulness and they are with us in our 
prayers. On this day we specially remember those who faced violence and 
death in places of service so many miles from home. We reach out to 
their families and those they love asking that the power of Your 
promises and Your abiding strength will be with them in their need. May 
those whose joy has been turned to sorrow sense our prayers for them 
and may Your peace be with them, now and evermore. Amen.
