Hi Wagglebee - I had no idea that Adm Denton was the author of that passage.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Spc. Rudolph R. Hizon, USA, 2nd Battalion, 30th Infantry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division, KIA Afghanistan 28FEB2011



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!

I've heard reports that he is the author, or that the author is unknown and he read it at an event. However, it is typically attributed to him.

I had the opportunity to meet Admiral Denton once, he is a great man and a true American hero. He and others lived through hell on earth and still maintained their dignity and honor.
