REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!





Cpl. Loren M. Buffalo, USA, 1st Squadron, 75th Cavalry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), KIA Afghanistan 9MAR2011



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!

Daddy worked at Tyndall from around 1949 until 53 when they laid off nearly the entire civilian work force. I was only a 5 or 6 year old kid but every now and then he would let me go to work with him.

It was fascinating watching those jets take off and land. After a couple of years selling insurance, Daddy got back on at Eglin and worked there until he retired.
