May their sacrifice inspire all of us to live a commitment to the ideals for which they served.

CONGREGATION: For the men and women serving our communities today in any capacity of public service, may they conduct themselves with honor, love their country second only to God, and receive strength for every challenge they face. LEADER: For families of men and women now serving as public servants, may they support their loved ones as they serve their country and community. CONGREGATION: For the leaders of our Fire Fighters / EMS/ Law Enforcement, may they properly train their personnel to respond effectively and safely.
