Today we remember the British, Canadian, Australian, American and other soldiers who crossed the English Channel on D-Day to risk their lives for the greater good. We also remember the Axis soldiers, many of whom gave their lives to a cause they did not believe in.

Eternal rest, granted to them, O Lord,

and let perpetual light shine upon them.

May their souls and the souls of all the faithfully departed,

through the mercy of God,

rest in peace.

Amen.

For You are the Resurrection, the Life, and Repose of Your servants, departed this life, O Christ our God; and to You do we send up glory with Your Eternal Father and Your All-holy, Good and Life-creating Spirit; both now and forever and to the ages of ages. Amen
