Opening Prayer Given by the Guest Chaplain:
Reverend Tierian Cash, National Chaplain for the American Legion, Longs, South Carolina, offered the following prayer:
Almighty and everlasting God, in whose name we trust and pray, it is fitting to pause, if but momentarily, to recognize You, the One in whom does finally reside all authority and power and by whose grace we are allowed to exercise that which You have committed to us.
Accept our homage, O Lord, and hear us when we pray for wisdom to lead with integrity, compassion, and conviction.
We are mindful that around the world today our soldiers, sailors, airmen, marines, and coastguardsmen are standing the watch to safeguard our peace and liberty.
Grant to all who serve and their families Your blessings.
Accept, O Lord, these prayers, and may we perceive and know what things to do and receive grace and power to fulfill what is expected of us. We commit our best efforts and our Nation to Your keeping.
Amen.
