An Airman's Prayer on Memorial Day

Lord,
Today we gather to celebrate this day with our comrades
In full knowledge of those comrades who will never be able to join us at this table

Until that day when all are one, we will keep them alive in our hearts
We ask that the sacrifices that have been made, and that the sacrifices yet to come,
Will enable us to bring Your peace into Your kingdom

Let all those who do evil in your name know that You are love
And that we will use the gifts You have given us to spread Your love for us throughout Your kingdom

In Your name we ask these things, Amen
