Memorial Day 2011

Almighty God, we commend to your gracious care and keeping

all the men and women of our armed forces at home and abroad.

Defend them day by day with your heavenly grace;

strengthen them in their trials and temptations;

give them courage to face the perils which beset them;

and grant them a sense of your abiding presence
wherever they may be;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Book of Common Prayer, pg. 823)
