1st Lt. Jonathan P. Walsh, USA, 2nd Battalion, 504th Infantry, 1st Brigade Combat Team, 82nd Airborne Division, KIA Afghanistan 22Apr2012



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!

Must retire – the 0500 Reveille approaches relentlessly – the bugler already mounts the parapet. Will chat with you all on the morrow.

Good night, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America!

Rain in the morning and sun in the afternoon.....all in all not too bad.

My son has been calling me all day; he wants to dig up and sell an Ohia tree but isn't quite sure how to do it.
