Take two minutes today to pray for our men and women in the military.  It’s a pittance of time.   We have the greatest military and strongest country in the world.  Our men and women need to be able to win this war and come home.  I pray that our leadership will give them the tools to fight and win so that they can come home soon.  I pray for their protection,  for wisdom, and for their families.  I hope you will enjoy this song as much as I did.  It always makes me cry but it fills my heart with gratitude and thankfulness for such brave men as these. Be sure to scroll down past the clock on the right and click the little black box to shut the music off.

Joseph Ambrose, an 86-year-old World War I veteran, attends the dedication day parade for the Vietnam Veterans Memorial.  He is holding the flag that covered the casket of his son, who was killed in the Korean War.

When you see someone in a uniform,
Someone who serves us all,
Doing military duty,
Answering their country’s call,

Take a moment to thank them
For protecting what you hold dear;
Tell them you are proud of them;
Make it very clear.

Just tap them on the shoulder,
Give a smile, and say,
“Thanks for what you’re doing
To keep us safe in the USA!”
