You will be in my thoughts, Sandy! I pray you get something
more permanent soon! Any work is honorable, even though I know that
permanent, full-time would be more desirable and helpful to your family!

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


God Of Our Fathers



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!

The 3/5 Marines are in the thick of it and definitely need our prayers. Another outfit taking heavy casualties is the 101st Airborne. They need our prayers as well.
