A POW?s PRAYER
God, please grant me the courage and endurance to persevere at the hands of my enemies.. Please endow me with the presence of mind to always remember who and what I am.. Gift me with the needed fortitude to resist all torture and deprivation - be it mental or physical.. And most of all Dear Lord grant unto me the power and ability to keep my soul and resolve, American to the core.... AMEN ------------------------------------------------------------ An original piece by H. Rick Tavares 5 March 2004 [Dedicated to my wife?s uncle, Corporal Melvin Hampton Morgan, Company L, 21st Infantry Regiment, 24th Infantry Division, United States Army, and all other Honorable U.S. POWs.] [Corporal Morgan died of Starvation & Beatings while a Prisoner of War in North Korea, 6 December 1950, Age 20 years old....]
