Almighty God, who has brought us together in the
Association to uphold the ideals of the Airborne trooper, keep us faithful
and true to the finest things in American life.
Sear in our memories our wartime experiences so that they may be the
inspiration for our peacetime activity.
Strengthen and protect the Armed Forces of our nation that
they may be a safeguard against those who would overthrow our way of life.
Grant us grace fearlessly to contend against evil and to
make no peace with oppression.
Help us to use our freedom for the maintenance of peace
and justice among men and nations.
Grant that we may do this and all other things in the
memory of our departed comrades, whose presence is among us and never to be
forgotten.
Bind us to Thee and to each other in steadfast loyalty to
the ideals for which we offered our lives in battle.
We ask this in Thy name.
Amen
-By the Division Chaplain during
WWII
