Inscription. Almighty God, who art the author of liberty and the champion of the oppressed, hear our prayer. We, the soldiers of special forces, acknowledge our dependence upon Thee in the preservation of human freedom. Go with us as we seek to defend the defenseless and to free the enslaved. May we remember that our nation, whose motto is "In God we trust", expects that we shall acquit ourselves with honor, that we may never bring shame upon our faith, our families, or our fellow men. Grant us wisdom from thy mind, courage from Thine heart, strength from Thine arm, and protection by Thine hand. It is for Thee that we do battle, and to Thee belongs the victor's crown. For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
