                                 PRAYER

  The Chaplain, the Reverend Daniel P. Coughlin, offered the following 
prayer:
  Come let us worship God together.
  We rejoice and give thanks to our God who has raised up heroic people 
in every age.
  The Lord is true to His name and faithful to His promises. The Lord 
rewards the just and is compassionate to the brokenhearted.
  May we be inspired by those who have gone before us and are 
remembered to this very day for their noble deeds and their lives of 
dedication to establish this Nation in a oneness that brings justice to 
all.
  May God be blessed again today in us and in our common endeavors to 
serve God's people.
  Blessed be God now and forever.
  Amen.
