a soldier's memorial day prayer
A Soldier's [Memorial Day] Prayer:
Heart of Jesus,
my Leader and my King,
while I am doing my military service,
make me loyal to my country -
and to my flag.
May I always do my duty as I see it -
and never take the easy way out.
May no sin injure my loyalty to You,
and my country,
and the ideals for which it stands.
[- And prayerfully with all these,
may my sacrifice be remembered -
as my predecessors have been,
and my duty - be honored,
as I perform - for Your Glory.]
Heart of Jesus,
I trust in You.
Amen.
