REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

LCpl. Timothy G. Serwinoski, USMC, KIA Afghanistan 21JUN2010

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

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



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, amid these who heeded 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!

I’ll join for today....since I’ve been thinking it’s Friday all damn day long. Sigh

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks for asking - it is doing somewhat better - I started PT last night and will be going twice a week for the next several weeks.

From the link:

“These survey results aren’t a surprise to me,” declared Shannon Darrow, one of Keith Olbermann’s former girlfriends. “You could consider yourself lucky if Keith managed to get his pants all the way off before…well…you know. Five minutes and done. That’s great for Starbucks, but not in the bedroom.”

Good evening saganite....#5 on the money!:)

[writer33]

Sorry, I should have put a disclaimer on that one.

[TASMANIANRED]

It did survive.

However, Sol pulled a different one today.

The only thing that I can figure out is, my sister gave me these specific plants. Her dirt must smell different than mine.
