A Memorial Day prayer

With Memorial Day coming up on Monday, the thoughts of many readers are with our military personnel stationed around the globe.

Michael Carden of Vinton submitted a "Citizens Prayer for our troops," excerpted below. We invite your response and comment about your views about the role of faith on Memorial Day.

"Oh greatest in the highest,
I pray you'll keep our people peaceful and free.
Let them know we love them still,
and want them home again,
to love, to kiss and hug.
Let them know we understand,
and that we really care."
