I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; for it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." (1 Maccabees 3:58–60)
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!

Mac did a wonderful job...I so appreciate the time and effort he put into it.
I’ll put it up on my Mom’s computer a little later. She can read it tomorrow.

During the eight weeks I was there (Ft Leonard Wood), we were taught knot tying, bridge construction, demolition, road building and combat training (rifle drill, weapons firing, close order drill, long tactical marches, etc.). During the knot tying training, I drove the sergeant nuts. Having spent many years in the Boy Scouts, I could tie most of the knots behind my back, which I proceeded to do whenever I was asked for a certain knot.His Dad, he and his brother, and both my brothers are/were Eagle Scouts.

Nice.
My scout training has paid off ten fold.
I never made Eagle. I was Life when our troop disbanded.
I was in high school then and the troop we were absorbed into was a long drive.
Biggest regret I have. I should have taken the time to get Eagle.
