Sgt. Vorasack T. Xaysana, USA, 2nd Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment, 4th Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, Died Iraq 9APR2011



I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.

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!

Remember kids watch out for Obama supporters. They will take 1/2 your eggs and give them to the kids who were too lazy to hunt for their own!
