REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!





Caporal Maggiore David Tobini, Italian Army, Parachute Regiment 183ø "Nimbus", KIA Afghanistan 25Jul2011

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!

(((HUGS)))

I am SO excited. A student of mine got a role in a local production of “The Gondoliers” by Gilbert & Sullivan.

I will be attending the production this Sunday.

Of Course, I KNOW the opera by heart, so I will be a good judge of the production!
