To our comrades of the United States Armed Forces, that answered the final call.

Heavenly Father, we commemorate those among Thy servants who have been called to thy bosom in the land of light. We pray that Thy mercy and justice have made right their human failings and faults. We pray that whatever justice was denied them in this vale of tears have been granted them a hundredfold. We pray that whatever comforts they were denied in this life, whatever evil they endured, may now redound to their everlasting happiness. We are thankful for their companionship and association in this life. By their efforts we are assured security and strength. Because they served well, we are proud to call them our own. We ask that, following in their footsteps, we may continue in Thy service until Thy summons comes. Then, in the knowledge that we have striven to observe Thy councils and precepts, may we judged worthy to be united with them and with Thee forever in heaven. Amen.
