I appreciate this prayer given to Jill Biden at her son Beau’s deployment ceremony on October 3, 2008 in Dover Delaware:

 

Dear God,

I pray you give all of our soldiers the courage and strength to do the duty that is required of them.  May they always remember our appreciation for the sacrifice they are making for us. We are thankful for the men and women who are willing to risk their lives to protect our freedom.  I ask you to go with each one of them and protect them wherever they go.  Amen.
