Prayer For Flag Ceremony
Dear Heavenly Father,
We thank you for this beautiful day that we can stand before you. On this day we ask for your presence with us as the command of the 5th Squadron, 15th Cavalry Regiment is handed over. We come to you because this peaceful exchange of command reminds us of the freedom that we have as Americansa freedom that you have provided and that you allow.
We thank you for the faithful service rendered by LTC _________________ during his time in command of 5-15. Thank you for all that he has done for the Squadron and for the Army. We pray that you will continue to be with him and his family in the days ahead as they shift their focus and energies to other things. We know though, that LTC _______________'s commitment to the Army and to the United States will not change and we thank you for this.
We ask also that you will be with LTC ________________ as he assumes command today. Bless him and his family as they seek to be an inspiration to the soldiers and families of the Squadron. Strengthen LTC _________________, encourage him, and empower him to command as you would have him command.
Finally, Lord, we ask that you will be with us all today, that this ceremony will not be just another event on our calendar, but a benchmark of excellence for us all to follow as we seek to be all that you have called us to be and all that our country needs us to be.
In your precious and holy name we pray, amen.

Let the light of thy countenance, O God, shine upon our comrades departed, that they may go on from strength to strength in thy Heavenly Kingdom.
Strengthen us in our resolve to keep faith with all patriots and comrades-in-arms by fearlessly maintaining our liberties so nobly won.
