4 July 2014 A.D. Tribute to U.S. Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen






4 July 2014 A.D.  Tribute to U.S. Marines, Sailors, Soldiers and Airmen.


To those serving ashore, afar, aloft, submerged, afloat, of the past and for today.  Especially those who fell in combat and those, this day, including families who still suffer, our Wounded Warriors.








FOR THE NATION


    O eternal God, through whose mighty power our
fathers won their liberties of old; Grant, we beseech thee, that we and all the people of this land may have grace to maintain these liberties in righteousness and peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


FOR ALL IN THE SERVICE OF OUR COUNTRY


    O Almighty Lord God, who neither slumberest nor sleepest; Protect and assist, we beseech thee, all those who at home or abroad, by land, by sea, or in the air, are serving this country, that they, being armed with thy defence, may be preserved evermore in all perils; and being filled with wisdom and girded with strength, may do their duty to thy honour and glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


FOR THE ARMY


    O Lord God of Hosts, stretch forth, we pray thee, thine almighty arm to strengthen and protect the soldiers of our country. Support them in the day of battle, and in the time of peace keep them safe from all evil; endue them with courage and loyalty; and grant that in all things they may serve without reproach; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.


FOR THE NAVY AND MARINE CORPS


    O eternal Lord God, who alone spreadest out the heavens, and rulest the raging of the sea; Vouchsafe to take into thy almighty and most gracious protection our country‘s Navy, and all who serve therein. Preserve them from the dangers of the sea, and from the violence of the enemy; that they may be a safeguard unto the United States of America, and a security for such as pass on the seas upon their lawful occasions; that the inhabitants of our land may in peace and quietness serve thee our God, to the glory of thy Name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
