House Prayer, 23 Oct 2020
Rabbi Arnold E. Resnicoff, Chaplain, US Navy, Retired,
Washington, DC
==
Almighty God,
We pray, reflect in different ways
But together mourn our dead
and tell their stories, to keep their memories alive.
37 years ago today, I was in Beirut
when a terrorist truck-bomb attack took the lives of 241 US military personnel.
58 French troops died a heartbeat later: a second truck, another deadly blast.
They came in peace.
They risked their lives to buy some time for change.
Peace did not prevail,
But their risk, their sacrifice
Must be honored and remembered.
Their story must be told.
Today, as we recall and honor Beirut dead and Beirut vets
In a special way,
we mourn all those we’ve lost to war, to hatred -- and disease, as well.
Lord, may we heed your call:
Together, to choose life -- to work for, fight for, life:
A better life for those who one day will remember us.
And may we say, amen.
