Thanks Amy!

What a wonderful gesture...sending packages to Afghanistan. Is this a group thing or just personally from you! Its a great thing you’re doing. Too bad that Custom papers are so difficult!!

[jaycee]

I surely did! It was only an hour this time, had some things to do!

[jaycee]

I thought of that, too! He sure doesn’t show up much anymore! He must not love his ‘sis’ anymore!

[JustAmy]

I join Patricia Ruth and other Freepers in sending packages. A friend from the PTA gave me lots of stuff so I bought some to go with it. Jim helps with postage. They are trying to get lemonade mix and pringles to them by July 4th. I hope mine make it. I had too many other things going on that I let the time slip up on me.

I think I have 7 flat rate boxes almost ready to go to the PO tomorrow.

I hate the custom forms. There is not enough room and it seems that I always mess up at least one. The forms are not designed for military addresses. I just do the best I can.

:(

Boo Hoo. I feel blue.

[jaycee]

Enjoyed the upbeat music!! I had my sound up too high for something else today and I got a blast from yours. But I corrected it to nice listening! Thanks!

[jaycee]

Poor Amy, Bro doesn’t love his ‘sis’ anymore and won’t even call or write.

You got that right! Especially when they are in packs, together!! Too bad! I’ve seen plenty around here and sometimes they have run across the street when I’m driving. Fortunately I’ve never hit one!

[tiapam]

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

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!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!



Lance Bombardier Mark Chandler, 2nd Battalion, The Princess of Wales's Royal Regiment, KIA Afghanistan 8JUN2010



I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

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.

Rupert Brooke

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

My heart breaks with each posting of yet another fallen Hero. I want nothing more than to reach out to their loved ones, wrap my arms around them and tell them as long as I have breath in my body, their sacrifice will not be in vain.

[tiapam]

Oh, my! Rest in Peace! Amen!
