Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
May God protect you and those around you as you put yourself in harms way.
Know in your heart that the choice to serve our country does not go unnoticed. Your personal sacrifice and that of your family is a great debt we as a country bear, and can never repay. It is you and the ones who have come before you, our brothers and fathers, grandfathers, and those before that we owe our freedom.
If there ever be a time that you feel all hope is gone and you are alone, remember he is with you.
