The following prayer is from article "Mountain ministry honors fallen airmen, sailors," THE NORTHWEST AIRLIFTER, McChord Air Force Base, Wash., Serving the World's Premier C-141 Wings:
Heavenly Father,
With these sixteen red roses we remember and honor the brave fallen airmen and sailors of the C-141 who made the supreme sacrifice for God and country when their C-141 crashed in 1975.
We also remember the brave men and women under the command of Colonel Duncan who were involved in the initial rescue attempt and subsequent recovery effort and we remember the six brave mountain climbers who made the first ascent ever of the southwest face of this mountain under extreme winter conditions and were the first to reach the crash site.
Heavenly Father, continue to comfort the relatives and friends of our fallen comrades and protect the men and women of McChord Air Force Base and the armed forces who daily are willing to make the supreme sacrifice for the cause of freedom here and around the world.
In Jesus' name we pray.
Amen
Prayer said by Bill Schweizer, founder and President of Mountaintop Sea Ministries International when he placed sixteen roses at the base of C-141 Peak near Mount Constance on the Olympic National Park.
