Marine's
Prayer
|
Almighty
Father, whose command is over all and whose love never fails,
make me aware of Thy presence and obedient to Thy will. Keep
me true to my best self, guarding me against dishonesty in
purpose and deed and helping me to live so that I can face
my fellow Marines, my loved ones, and Thee without shame or
fear. Protect my family.
Give me the will to do the work of a Marine and to accept
my share of responsibilities with vigor and enthusiasm. Grant
me the courage to be proficient in my daily performance. Keep
me loyal and faithful to my superiors and to the duties my
Country and the Marine Corps have entrusted to me. Help me
to wear my uniform with dignity, and let it remind me daily
of the traditions which I must uphold.
If I am inclined to doubt, steady my faith; if I am tempted,
make me strong to resist; if I should miss the mark, give
me courage to try again.
Guide me with the light of truth and grant me wisdom by which
I may understand the answer to my prayer. |

Resolve
to Win: March to Washington

"Thank
you for supporting the Resolve to Win March. God Bless our
Troops and God Bless America."
Dennis McCool
MAJ, US Army (R)
"Resolve
to Win"
|
Three retired
Army officers, recently returned from Iraq and others will be marching
from the SC/NC Stateline and ending at the U.S. Capitol (1 Mar to
16 Mar 2008). Dennis McCool, Carl Heerup and Marc Breslow will be
walking 400 miles in an event called "Resolve
To Win".
The reason is to show support for the Troops and the Mission of
the Troops. The purpose is to demonstrate resolve to do a difficult
task and to create a dialogue about our National Will to win. It's
not political, nor is it to support any particular party. This is
an endorsement of General Petraeus's leadership and the skill, talent
and sacrifice of our Troops to win in Iraq.
Our
troops need to know we remember them but showing our Patriotism,
that we care and support them and that they are and will not be
forgotten.
For more information, please visit the Resolve
to Win website.
