Welcome.
The only thing I know of to personally honor fallen 13B's would be to fire a howitzer 8 times, then play 'Taps'.
I haven't any words personally that would make sense.

"End of Mission" (artillery speak.)

There is nothing more disappointing about their deaths than the simple fact that these 13B's were not manning a cannon delivering fire onto the enemy.

God Bless them for their sacrifice.

TAPS

Day is done,
gone to the  sun

 from the lakes, from the hills,
from the sky.

All  is  well, safely rest.
God is high.

Thanks  and  praise,
 for our days

'neath the sun, 'neath the stars,
'neath the sky,

As we go, this we know,
God is nigh.

~  ~ 

 
 
God bless our troops.
