Patriotic Glow (US), Honoring Memorial Day

Thinking today of Chaplain O'Neill's prayer at the Battle of the Bulge composed for Gen Patton:"Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that,armed with Thy power,we may advance from victory to victory,and crush the oppression and wickedness of our enemies and establish Thy justice among men & nations." Also Jonathan Schwartz poem in El Paso "Te crowd quiets down as the general step up To deliver his solemn address. He's making good sense when he tries to describe Why the rest of us have been blessed.I look to my left to the edge of the throng Where a father is kneeling in prayer. Against his right side he's holding with pride A portrait for the gathered to share."
