THE WALL OF FACES

Let us pray…

Lord Jesus Christ, we pray for all our Vietnam War heroes who are now in Heaven.

We will always remember and honor them. They are great heroes and we love them.

Lord, continue to bestow upon them the great honor, respect, and love that they deserve.

Lord, we pray for the family members of these heroes. Grant them peace, Lord, for they are great American heroes also.

Comfort these family members, and provide all that they need.

We love these family members, Lord.

Let them feel our love, and let them feel your love, Lord.

Shine your love upon them.

Let them feel your presence in all that they do.

Lord, we pray for our hero Vietnam War veterans.

These heroes are very special people and are among the greatest war heroes in American history.

Lord, give them comfort.

Give them peace.

Lord, help any of our Vietnam veterans who are suffering PTSD, anxiety, depression, or any other problem.

Lord, heal them.

And walk with our Vietnam veterans wherever they may go, and let them always feel your presence.

Lord, we pray that our Vietnam veterans receive ALL of the honor, respect, and love that they deserve.

Remind these Vietnam veterans that they are heroes.

Lord, we pray that everyone in pain because of the Vietnam War is healed.

May you continue to bless our fallen heroes, their family members, and our Vietnam veterans.

Amen.

FOREVER REMEMBERED

"If you are able, save for them a place inside of you....and save one backward glance when you are leaving for the places they can no longer go.....Be not ashamed to say you loved them....
Take what they have left and what they have taught you with their dying and keep it with your own....And in that time when men decide and feel safe to call the war insane, take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind...."

Quote from a letter home by Maj. Michael Davis O'Donnell
KIA 24 March 1970. Distinguished Flying Cross: Shot down and Killed while attempting to rescue 8 fellow soldiers surrounded by attacking enemy forces.

We Nam Brothers pause to give a backward glance, and post this remembrance to you, one of the gentle heroes lost to the War in Vietnam:

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul ... and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From your Nam-Band-Of-Brothers
