Three More American Soldiers Die in Iraq
BAGHDAD, Iraq - Three more American soldiers have died in Iraq (news - web sites), two from hostile fire and one in a traffic accident, the U.S. command said Monday.
One soldier from Task Force Olympia, based in northern Iraq, died Monday of wounds suffered in an attack on his patrol, the command said. It did not say when the attack occurred.
A 1st Infantry Division was killed Saturday when a roadside bomb exploded in Samarra. Another soldier was wounded in the blast. A soldier from the 16th Military Police Brigade died Sunday night when his Humvee collided with an American tank, the statement added.
More than 750 U.S. service members have died since President Bush (news - web sites) launched the Iraq war in March 2003.
REGIMENTAL PRAYER
Almighty, merciful, and loving Father,
you are the one who hears all our prayers and grants our petitions.
We ask you to remember, as we do,
the tremendous sacrifice made by those who went before us.
They have given their lives so that we might live and breathe freely.
We ask you to receive them into your hands.
Father, give us the strength and wisdom to learn from their example,
to uphold freedom and life at home and around the world.
Keep us vigilant as we guard the frontiers of freedom.
Give our leaders the wisdom and the strength to lead well.
Grant all of us courage and confidence.
Be, for all of us, troopers, a wise counsel in keeping peace
and a strong shield for us against our enemies.
Oh heavenly Father, give us the determination
that the peace and freedom won at such a high price be lasting!
Father, hold all of the troopers in the palm of your almighty hand
and protect them in the shadow of your wings.
Amen.
