After a grueling day of training, which had included a ten-mile hike and completion of a difficult obstacle course, my son Eric's platoon of raw recruits quickly fell into bed.   As Eric lay in the dark, he heard a voice recite a prayer:  "Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep, if I should die before I wake, thank you Lord."  There was a brief pause and then several voices said in unison,   "Amen."                                  Robert Moore
