Father of us all, whose son uncovered faith in a soldier under obedience, keep close to you the serving sons and daughters of this country who put themselves in harm's way for the sake of others.
Be a shield around them and a courage within.
Invest them with persistence in duty and a thirst for what is right.
Be the words of their Chaplains and the touch in their hands.
Inspire these pastors to be channels of your grace.
We ask this through Christ Our Lord. Amen

The theme this year is STOP AIDS; KEEP THE PROMISE. 333.000 children will die from AIDS this year; half a million babies, infected during pregnancy or birth via the mother will also die. Special drugs can stop this but in developing countries 90 in every 100 women do not get these drugs. NO WOMAN SHOULD HAVE TO WATCH HER CHILD DIE but unless something is done millions more will have to.
