REST IN PEACE, FALLEN SISTER!

PFC Erin L. McLyman, USA, KIA Iraq 13MAR2010

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 sister, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen sister, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen sister, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen sister, among these who answered the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen sister, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen sister, rest in eternal peace!

If I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam;
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.

Hi Conor, Just was hoping that you had a “Happy St. Patrick’s Day”, as I’m guessing you are quite Irish
Also just wanted to let you know that I OFTEN think of our military. Here, abroad, protecting us and for those no longer with us! http://i39.tinypic.com/9vb2u1.jpg
