THE MARINE'S PRAYER
Almighty Father, whose command is over
all and whose love never fails, make me
aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy
will. Keep me true to my best self, guarding
me against dishonesty in purpose and deed
and helping me to live so that I can face my
fellow Marines, my loved ones and Thee
without shame or fear. Protect my family.
Give me the will to do the work of a Marine
and to accept my share of responsibilities
with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant me the
courage to be proficient in my daily performance.
Keep me loyal and faithful to my
superiors and to the duties my country and
the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Make
me considerate of those committed to my
leadership. Help me to wear my uniform
with dignity, and let it remind me daily of the
traditions which I must uphold. If I am
inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am
tempted, make me strong to resist; if I should
miss the mark, give me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant
me wisdom by which I may understand the
answer to my prayer.
Amen

Got home today from seeing Dylan and his buddy's off to the sand dunes of sunny Afghanistan. His momma's already mailed him a care package and has the second one packed! Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers! Dylan will be in route for the next couple of days then should be able to get email ([email protected]). I'll download a few of the pictures I took today and post them.

said he will keep this sticky note posted until he returns so I'll keep everyone posted.

I'm soo glad I was able to see him off. So many were there with no family able to attend! God bless all these young men and women!

Bob
