Blessed be the Military Chaplaincy
Attending to heroic fighters need,
That keep the Sacrament in the humvee,
Or copters, so the valiant troops may feed.
Equipped to celebrate the Eucharist,
Dispensing strength and nourishment’s support,
A boucle strong against the terrorist,
The body and the blood of our Lord!
In foreign culture,- Army Chaplaincy,
Lends to the battling heroes great support
May the Almighty bless their Ministry,
Sustaining troops with the Eternal Word!
Blessed by the Military Chaplaincy
That by heroic fighting troopers stand,
As true companion in constancy
And raise their spirits as their truest friend.
They comfort relatives and family,
Inspire trust in God and calm the fears,
They share with soldiers their adversity,
And dry the swallowed and the open tears.
What solace are their words, and guarantee
Those battling for what’s right fight not in vain,
For what is right does carry victory
In spite of set backs, suffering and pain
Blessed by the Military Chaplaincy
That does dispense the Holy Sacrament,
That sacred bread and wine - the warranty,
To be with Jesus one - and without end.

Easter in Fallujah
Chaplain Hall read two passages from the Bible, from Isaiah 53 and Luke 24, concerning the death and resurrection of Christ.
In his sermon, the chaplain referred to the battles the Marines have fought in Fallujah.
''We're never promised that we'll have an easy ride. God just tells us that he'll be with us along the way,'' he said. ''We are not afraid of death because Christ will give us eternal life.

| Wow, thank you, as a RP (Religious Programs Specialist) I appreciate that. The Chaplains have a heavy duty, that is why there is my rate, so that they can do said duty. God bless you. |
