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!

Flowers of the Forest



Black Watch Piper

The Soldier

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.

We are losing far too many of our boys over there, and they are getting far too little attention and appreciation.

[jaycee]

Help me...someone tied me up! Help! Are you out there, my knight in shining armor???

That is cute, tiapam!

[jaycee]

Gosh, when I kept pushing the back arrow to get my post to go, it landed up on May 1....how could that happen? Lordy, Lordy!

[ConorMacNessa]

I made one error in those posts on our Fallen - Spc. Sokolowski died in Iraq, not Afghanistan.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[jaycee]

I agree, Nan. The news media just doesn’t seem to care about the war....they are too busy trying to keep Obama on his pedestal! My, my.....will there ever be true journalists again? Don’t think so! Only cheerleaders, I’m afraid!
