As Chaplain of The American Legion Post 1941 in La Grange, IL. I have this prayer for Legionnaire Steven Koniarski. " Lord, who art full of compassion, who dwellest on high-God of forgiveness, who are merciful, slow to anger and abounding in loving kindness-grant pardon of transgressions, nearness of salvation, and perfect rest beneath the shadow of thy divine presence, in the exalted places among the holy and pure, who shine as the brightness of the firmament, to US Army Veteran, Steven Koniarski who hath gone to his eternal home. We beseech Thee , O Lord of compassion, remember unto him for good all the meritorious and pious deeds which he wrought while on earth. Open unto him the gates of righteousness and light, the gates of pity and grace. O shelter him forevermore under the cover of thy wings; and let his soul be bound up in the bond of eternal life. The Lord is his inheritance; may he rest in peace. Amen."
