Thanks very much, Lauren!

*HUGS*

And thanks very much for tonight's Road Trip to NNMC Bethesda! It's a command that resonates soundly with me. My father was stationed there from 1956 until 1963 and again from 1965 until his retirement from the Navy in 1969. I was a patient there three times, once in 1968 and again in 1969 and 1971. I was stationed there in 1970 and 1971. I used to stand the Chief of the Day watch at Center Command and got to raise and lower the Colors.

Again, thanks very much!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!





Spc. Spencer C. Duncan, USAR, 7th Battalion, 158th Aviation Regiment, KIA Afghanistan 6Aug2011

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!
