Because...  

Because I sleep in the rain, you sleep in the warmth...
Because I endure pain, You endure freedom...
Because I protect You, You are free...
Because I went to fight, You get to stay...
Because my feet hurt, Yours walk freely...
Because I am willing to fight, You don't have to be...
Because I'm on the battlefield, You live your life freely...
Because I carry my pack, You carry a feeling of security...
Because I may be there, You are here...
Because I may die, You may live...
That's what fighting for your country is all about.

Deployment Prayer

  I lay my head in weary hands
and tears fall as I pray
"Dear God,
Unworthy though I am
I ask one thing of thee
Bless the one I love tonight
and help him remember me
Tonight I can not be with him
and take him by the hand
But god, you can go to him
and make him understand
Help him to keep me in his heart
until we meet again
For even though we're miles apart
I love him God ~ Amen"

Prayer For The Military

O God of Mercy, we beg You now to protect in a special way those who are fighting for us
and for the country we love. Bless them and take care of them. If they are tired, give them strength.
If they are wounded and suffering, give them comfort. If they are lonely, touch them with
Your gentle hand and let them know that You are near them. Grant them strength, wisdom and
help through Your power and Your limitless love. ~Amen.
