Lord God, who’s blessed Son, did say unto the soul of all Veterans
Grant that you be made fierce against all enemies with compassion
That you bond in the fashion peculiar to the warrior of your times
And that in your cause, death should meet you before dishonour.

In the aftermath of the unique fashion in which you have served your people, strike, seize and grasp your deserved peace of mind in the sure and certain knowledge of the integrity that you employed whilst serving this noble art.

The further sure and certain knowledge that when the government of the day abused your integrity and then abandoned you and yours when most you needed them, that the retribution of the Almighty is theirs to endure alone and that you shall know eternal peace.
Amen
