A Prayer for a Veteran
We pray that nothing of this man's life will be lost,
but that it will be of benefit to the world;
that all that he held sacred may be respected
by those who follow him and that everything
in which he was great may continue to
mean as much to us now that he is gone.
We ask you that he may go on living in his children;
in their hearts and minds, their courage
and their conscience.
We ask you that we who were associated with him
may now, because of his passing,
be even more closely associated with each other,
and that we may, in this togetherness
and peace and friendship here on earth,
always be deeply conscious of your promise
to be faithful to us in death.
Amen
