"Lord, hold our troops in the

Marines, Army, Air Force, Coast
   

 Guard, Navy, National Guard

and Medical Forces

in Your loving hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families

for the selfless acts they perform

for us in our time of need,

wherever they are deployed or

 training.

Protect their minds and spirits

from the curses evil persons

attempt to lay upon them.

Guard their hearts and minds,

and draw them into

a saving knowledge of You.

Amen."
