REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
Major Steven Hutchinson, USA, KIA 10mMAY2009
I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
God Of Our Fathers
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!

God bless his family. I did not think it was possible to stay in the Army at that age.

Not to interject, but I’m a sixty year old Vietnam vet still in the Reserves, trying to get deployed again.
My prayers for this brave comrade and his family,
To: LibWhacker
True patriot. When I was returning to the US in uniform a couple of old vietnam vets bought me a drink at the airport. They kept talking about how difficult Iraq must have been for me and my unit, I told them it wasn’t shit compared to Nam. I love me some good old school vietnam vets. God bless him and his family for making the ultimate sacrifice.

God bless you, man! I’m 60, too, and you’re a better man than me if you can still wear the uniform. ‘Bout all I’d be good for now is cannon fodder.
