Our first responsibility is to pray for our troops. More than 83,000 U.S. troops
have requested prayer. The Presidential Prayer Team is handling a mountain of such requests from the troops themselves and
from their families. The President also asked that we pray specifically for our troops and the families they've left
behind in his March 6 press conference: "If we were to commit our troops, I would pray for their safety, and I would pray
for the safety of innocent Iraqi lives as well." One way you can pray for our troops is to visit the Prayer Requests message board.
Beyond prayer, there are several ways you can show your support for our troops.

on your bookstore to find appropriate products. |
