We were going to go for a shoot but blasting off into a sunny wind tunnel didn't seem so fun so, instead, it was all about burgers and hotdogs on the grill with some delicious macaroni cheese by way of a side. A young sergeant fell upon his like a warrior, which is entirely apt. He tells me there's some kind of forward observer training in the near future, I'll keep you posted.
He also says that the latest intakes of recruits into his Company have been outstanding, a vast improvement over previous years. Clearly something's changed, for the better. This encouraging trend in mind, here's a prayer:
O King and Judge of the nations: We remember before thee with grateful hearts the members of our armed forces, who in the day of decision ventured much for the liberties we now enjoy; grant that we may not rest until all the people of this land share the benefits of true freedom and gladly accept its disciplines; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God world without end. Amen.
Lest we forget,
LSP
