Memorial Day 2012

The Star Spangled Banner
[audio:http://tbirdsradio.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/16 - The Star Spangled Banner.mp3] TBird’s Radio Network would like to take this opportunity to thank and salute the men and women of the U.S. Armed Forces. We want them to know that we love them and are praying for them and their families.

Today, on this Memorial Day 2012, let us reflect upon those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our beloved homeland. God bless our military, and God Bless the United States of America.

George Washington’s Prayer for the United States

Almighty God, we make our earnest prayer that Thou wilt keep the United States in thy holy protection, that Thou wilt incline the hearts of the citizens to cultivate a spirit of subordination and obedience to government and entertain a brotherly affection and love for one another and for their fellow citizens of the United States at large.

And finally that Thou will most graciously be pleased to dispose us all to do justice, to love mercy, and to demean ourselves with that charity, humility, and pacific temper of mind which were the characteristics of the Divine Author of our blessed religion, and without a humble imitation of whose example in these things, we can never hope to be a happy nation.

Grant our supplications, we beseech Thee, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(Written at Newburg, June 8, 1783, and sent to the governors of the States.)

(From Song and Service Book for Ship and Field edited by Ivan L. Bennett, United States Government Printing Office, 1942.)
