                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Lord, be with the American people as they pray today for all who 
witness for You in this world.
  We ask You to be with all those who serve the public in roles of 
government, military service, homeland security, and neighborhood 
protection.
  May all leaders of religious faiths, businesses, communities, and 
families be blessed with courage, perseverance, and hope.
  May teachers, preachers, scientists, and artists bring the light of 
wisdom into the darkness of this age.
  Remove evil from the sight of children. Calm every fear.
  Fill everyone with the knowledge of Your presence here, now, and 
forever.
  Amen.
