A Military Prayer for the Past & Future
To all the veterans and their families who stand before us today -- we
have
replaced the old worn gravestones of past military men from The Revolutionary
War, The War of 1812, The Mexican War, The Civil War, & The Spanish-American
War. My prayer is, in the future, someone will follow in our footsteps.
To replace
your weathered tombstones, to show you the honor and respect that you so much
deserve, as these men do, and have been shown here today. One does not
know,
how much, you, (as military men & women), have given up and sacrificed to
make
our beautiful country what it is today! May your names not just lie on
dusty old pages
in history books and on worn gravestones, but be engraved deep in our hearts
for all
Eternity! Amen.

NOTE: On the “The Soldier and Sailor Walk Memorial Plaque” at St. Martin's
Church Cemetery in Marcus Hook, PA are the following words from my
prayer/poem:
May your names not just lie on dusty old pages in history books and on worn
gravestones, but be engraved deep in our hearts for all Eternity.
Best Wishes,
Helen Marie

Thank you Helen. I was just preparing to respond to
this note but read your message first. Peggy was nee
King. Ruth Philbrick and I also thought that Timothy
was 'on the way' but not yet born when Eli died, back
when we were sorting out these Sussex County
Callaways, about 40 years ago.
