Prayer for MOPH Chapter 1836

April 15, 2020

Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Dear Father, we call upon you during this time of fear, terror, and bewilderment Lord we need you to help us eradiate this invisible coronavirus, that is plaguing all nations of this world. You and you alone can eradicate this virus, like you did with the H1N1, H2N2, and H3N2 viruses of past years. Dear Lord, hear our cry. Now Dear Lord we ask that you bless our past officers of 2019-2020 for the great job that they perform, above the call of duty. Then Lord we ask you grant leadership, wisdom and knowledge to our newly elected officers for 2020-2021.
Lord, bless all veterans and their families, especially those who are in chapter 1836. We end this prayer, saying, thank you for all that you do for us, especially those things that we cannot do for ourselves. May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.

God Bless America.

In God we trust:

Conrad A. Myers Jr.

I now know why men who have been to war yearn to reunite. Not to tell stories or look at old pictures. Not to laugh or weep. Comrades gather because they long to be with the men who once acted at their best; men who suffered and sacrificed, who suffered and were stripped of their humanity.
I did not pick these men. They were delivered by fate and the military. But I know them in a way I know no other men. I have never given anyone such trust. They were willing to guard something more precious than my life.
They would have carried my reputation, the memory of me. It was part of the bargain we all made, the reason we were so willing to die for one another. As long as I have memory, I will think of them all, every day. I am sure that when I leave this world, my last thought will be of my family and my comrades. Such good men.
