"Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends." John 15:13
"Almighty God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead: We give thee thanks for all thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence; and give us such a lively sense of thy righteous will, that the work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen." The Book of Common Prayer, p 488
Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord.
And let light perpetual shine upon them.
May their souls, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
