                                 prayer

  The Chaplain, Dr. Lloyd John Ogilvie, offered the following prayer:
  Lord God, today on Pearl Harbor Day we look back on that day of 
infamy through the focused lens of September 11. We gratefully remember 
the men and women who paid the supreme sacrifice for our freedom in 
World War II. With equal admiration, we honor the memory of those who 
lost their lives seeking to save others in the aftermath of the 
terrorist attack on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon now just 87 
days ago. These have been taxing days of war, anthrax anxiety, office 
closings, disruption and displacement, escalated security, and the 
stress of red-alert living. And yet, through it all, we have been drawn 
closer to You and to each other. Once again, You have helped our 
beloved Nation rise to greatness. Continue to give us strength and 
courage to finish this treacherous war against the insidious, collusive 
forces of terrorism. Dear God, bless America! Amen.
