Veterans Day

O say can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming,
Whose broad stripes and bright stars through the perilous fight,
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming?
And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there;
O say does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?

Father God,
I lift this nation up to You Lord, Father, I lift all the veterans, and their families, across this great land up to You Lord; Father, those who are on foreign soil, please protect them and keep them safe, please Lord, bring them back home safely to their home and their families. Father, those who are state-side, protect them and keep them Lord, when they are sent over-seas please Lord, surround them with Your guardian angels, and bring them back home safely to their families too. Father, those veterans who are now retired from service, Lord, I thank You for them and their service, I thank their families for their service; please Lord, continue to protect them and heal them Lord and bless them.
Father God, I say a special prayer for those families who made the ultimate sacrifice, oh God, please Lord, bless them, comfort their broken hearts, and it is my prayer Lord that they would fill the empty places with You Lord. Help them to know Lord, their country supports them and backs them and most of all loves them and grieves with them.
Thank You Lord for the young men and women who desire to serve this great nation, for all of those willing to sacrifice everything for this nation, bless them Lord, protect them, keep them safe, and O Lord, please, bring them all back home safely to their families, thank You Lord for this great United States of America, in Jesus name I pray, Amen.
Thank you, to all our service men and women, retired, active, and reserves, thank you
