Hi list, A Military Prayer for the Past & Future To all the veterans and their families, who stand before us today --we have replaced the old worn gravestones of past military men from The Revolutionary War, The War of 1812, The Mexican War, The Civil War, & The Spanish-American War. My prayer is, in the future, someone will follow in our footsteps. To replace your weathered tombstones, to show you the honor and respect that you so much deserve, as these men do, and have been shown here today. One does not know, how much, you, (as military men & women), have given up and sacrificed to make our beautiful country what it is today! May your names not just lie on dusty old pages in history books and on worn gravestones but be engraved deep in our hearts for all eternity! Amen.
