Inspirational update for Veterans Day. Here is an update to this story at Blackfive. This prayer from the comments section meant a lot to me..

(bold letters my emphasis)

oh God! Help us to understand this. Help these families with this grief that must be crushing. Give them your peace that surpasses all understanding. Make me a better man everyday, so that I might honor this selfless sacrifice by being worthy of it as a citizen of this great nation. Give our leaders your wisdom, give our warriors your undaunted courage in the face of these enemies, give our fellow Americans the fortitude to see this action through to the end. Lift up these heroes in honored glory in Heaven, and let us never forget the countless sacrifices they have made to preserve this precious gift of liberty that you have given us here in this nation.
Amen....and Amen.
