<p>Please pray for the families of our fallen heroes in Afghanistan</p> <p>God of love and mercy, embrace all those whose hearts today overflow with grief,</p> <p>unanswered questions about the tragedy in Afghanistan, and such a sense of loss. Grant them space to express their tears.</p> <p>Hold them close through the coming days. This I ask in the powerful name of Jesus Christ our Lord in Savior Amen.</p> <p>The Lord is my shepherd;</p> <p>I shall not [a]want.</p> <p>2 He makes me to lie down in [b]green pastures;</p> <p>He leads me beside the [c]still waters.</p> <p>3 He restores my soul;</p> <p>He leads me in the paths of righteousness</p> <p>For His name’s sake.</p> <p> </p> <p>4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,</p> <p>I will fear no evil;</p> <p>For You are with me;</p> <p>Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.</p> <p> </p> <p>5 You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;</p> <p>You anoint my head with oil;</p> <p>My cup runs over.</p> <p>6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me</p> <p>All the days of my life;</p> <p>And I will [d]dwell in the house of the Lord</p> <p>[e]Forever.</p> <p>It is the soldier, not the reporter, Who has given us freedom of the press?</p> <p>It is the soldier, not the poet, Who has given us freedom of speech?</p> <p>It is the soldier, not the campus organizer, Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate?</p> <p>It is the soldier who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag, and whose coffin is draped by the flag, which allows the protester to burn the flag.</p> <p>Father Denis O’Brien, United States Marine Corps.</p> <p>Lance Cpl.
