For tootired54, because he is soldiering onward with no end in sight:

A Prayer for Soldiers Going Off to Battle

O Holy Master, Almighty Father and Eternal God, Who alone made and directs all things;
Who rises up quickly against the evil of the impious ones;
Who, by Providence, teach Thy people preservation of Justice and the obliteration of the sword on earth;
Who condescend to raise up military columns to help the people;
O God, Who commanded the Forerunner John to say to the soldiers coming to him in the desert;
'Do not intimidate anyone... and be content with your wages';

We entreat Thee with compunction;
that Thou gavest Thy child David the power to defeat Goliath;
and as Thou didst condescend;
through Judas Maccabeus, to seize victory from the arrogant pagans who would not call on Thy Name;
so too;
grant protection in righteousness and truth to these Thy servants against the enemies rising against them;
and by Thy heavenly loving-kindness;
strength and might for the preservation of faith and truth;

Condescend, out of Thy mercy, O Master, to grant them the fear of Thee;
together with humility, obedience and good endurance;
that they harm no one unrighteously;
but rather preserve all righteousness and truth;
that they may fear Thee and honor Justice;
that they run in friendship to those who are scattered;
extending thy love to those near them;
serving the elderly with justice;
and that their ranks fulfill all things righteously;

For thou art our God, and to Thee do we ascribe glory;
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;
now and ever, and unto ages of ages.

May the blessings of peace and strength flow upon our brother, tootired54.

Amen.
