Recieved this in an e-mail form Jack Ruffer, USMC, Retired, he explained,
Below, from the Early Bird, is an obituary for a fallen soldier written the way an obituary should be written. Amen for Elizabeth Samet. For those less poetically inclined, her starting sentence is a play on the last verse of T.S. Eliots The Hollow Men.

You have more insight to TS Eliot’s poem than I do....I recently reviewed that very poem (just for recollection) and I am oblivious to your reference to the ‘last verse’ implication in her starting sentence.
However...the ‘feeling/sense’ of the poem and her beautifully written eulogy has a commonality to it.
I just read the whole article. May God Bless all these men. This is so profound What a great sacrifice our freedom to be maintain by the very best. Thank you for this post
