God of our fathers, who by land and sea have ever lead us to victory, please continue your inspiring guidance in this the greatest of all conflicts. Strengthen my soul so that the weakening instinct of self-preservation, which besets all of us in battle, shall not blind me to my duty to my own manhood, to the glory of my calling, and to my responsibility to my fellow soldiers. Grant to our armed forces that disciplined valor and mutual confidence which insures success in war. Let me not mourn for the men who have died fighting, but rather let me be glad that such heroes have lived. If it be my lot to die, let me do so with courage and honor in a manner which will bring the greatest harm to the enemy, and please, oh Lord, protect and guide those I shall leave behind. Give 'Us' the victory.
Սուլիչ ձեր սեփական ներդաշնակություն.

I guess I'd overlooked this one before, but I really like it. It's quiet and invokes emotion, but not overbearingly so. I'm attracted to the subtle colors, and that blue tint you have on the visor is a really good touch. Great choice of background, and it's good you're not looking at the camera. It really adds to the atmosphere. I wear a different uniform, but can still appreciate what this one represents. Gorgeous piece~
