You have always been our hero
And we pray for you each day
Asking God to protect you
Keep you safe, show you the way.

Such bravery we only read about
No one knows the peril's that you face
But your courage as a warrior
Deserves an honorary place.

We love you and we pray for you
Men and women of pride and good will
You will never be forgotten
Your endurance a deed fulfilled.

We will never be able to repay you
Or your families waiting with hope and love
May God our Father watch over all of you
From his mansion in Heaven above.

We thank you more than words can say
You have more than done your part
We pray only now for your safe return
You are always in our hearts.

It seems like forever
That I went away
To fight for my country
To make a better day.

Months have passed and things got worse
I've lost count of the time
I'm sending this letter to let you know
Right now I'm doing fine.

Each time I write I feel like
It may be my last letter to you
I pray a lot and live in fear
Just like I know you do.

I know it has to end sometime
I'm hoping things will get better
Most of all I pray to God
This wont be my last letter.

May God Hear My Prayer

Ride on the wings of the morning
Float on the tides of the day
Drive with the force of the evening
Walk as he shows us the way.

Tomorrow may bring bright sunshine
Or maybe a dark cloud above
But nothing can break my spirit
Of the overwhelming feeling of love.

Commanders hear me far and near
Take up your arms and surge
Gather up your friends and foe
It is the time to merge.

Don't be weary or fretful
Gather joy from far and wide
Let us rise from turmoil and sorrow
And rejoice with love and pride.

They went away with heavy hearts
Knowing not what to expect
They did their job and stood their ground
They are coming home with respect.

It isn't any wonder
Why our country is so great
We can thank our brave comrades
Now let us forget the hate.

Pray God will give us courage
To do the things we must
He got us through a very bad time
Our faith in him we trust.

Please help the families who must bare
The loss of ones so dear
Say a prayer of thanks to them
So our voices they will hear.

Dear families of our Military
Our thanks go out to you
For all the sacrifices made
To make our dreams come true.

To have a safe America
Without fear or harm
You said fair well to loved ones
As they battle out this storm.

It's not only Iraqi Freedom
It is our freedom too
To keep the horror of sick minds
From harming me and you.

So we would like to take this time
To thank your loyalty and love
And pray that God will bless you
From his heavenly home above.
