Residents of Rappahannock are being asked by Commander Carson B. Johnson of V.F.W. Post No. 1150 to join in a national day of prayer November 16, asking for peace, safety of our servicemen in Vietnam, national unity and guidance for the United States in this time of crisis. Commander Johnson said he hopes all residents of Rappahannock will participate in this “call to worship’’ and that the clergy will set aside November 16 for special prayers in all county churches.
In announcing the day of prayer, Commander Johnson cited a recent appeal made by the Rev. Earl Best, Indianapolis, Indiana, National V.F.W. Chaplain, who said:
“In this critical time, all Americans should reflect prayerfully on the future course this nation will follow and to ask divine guidance for President Nixon as he makes decisions and sets policies that may affect untold generations yet unborn.
“All Americans should pray for peace for the thousands of men who daily put their lives on the Une in Vietnam to ensure the right of dissent for other thousands at home who so vociferously object to the role our nation is playing in that troubled country. Let us pray for unity in our resolve to do right.
“In their prayers Americans should remember the men and women who have given their lives In Vietnam and in all the wars their countrymen have fought to preserve freedom everywhere.”
Commander Johnson explained that November 16 was selected as the national day of prayer because it is the fust Sunday after; Veterans Day, November 11, and concludes the week-long V.F.W. sponsored “Operation Speak Out” calling for unity and public support of American policies and troops in Vietnam.
