The U.S. Navy Band marches on Pennsylvania Avenue during the second presidential inauguration parade for President Barack Obama in Washington, D.C., on Jan. 21, 2013.

As Donald J. Trump is sworn in as the 45th President of the United States, let us pray for the new commander-in-chief, especially as he makes crucial decisions about ongoing military conflicts in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria. No matter who you may have supported during the 2016 campaign, it is my solemn prayer that all Americans can unite behind our nation’s troops, veterans and their families.
