"People sleep peaceably in their beds at night only because rough men stand ready to do violence on their behalf." (apocryphal, attributed to Winston Churchill)
Let us remember those who stand guard with firm resolve to prevent such an attack from happening again. Some of them wear a uniform, others a business suit, or work clothes. But all are on the front lines: the Middle East, intelligence-gathering, operating a missile defense system, flying a fighter, or simply serving to the best of their ability at whatever it is they do for us.
Let us all pray for them, that they may do their jobs with confidence, efficiency, and safety. And may they all be returned safely to those who love them.

Amen, Rev. Paul.
May I add, remain vigilant in order to remain safe?
Amen.
Ditto. Thank you for the tribute. So far there has been ZILCH on the PBS or other stations here in Idaho/Washington. I am very disappointed. My Welsh friend has told me that they have had specials on their tv for the past week.

Let us also pray that these men and women get the competent leadership they deserve. Someone(s) with a clear goal and the willingness to see things through to the end.
Amen.... Thank you for including all.
