"I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith." (2 Timothy 4:7 KJV)
"Arm yourselves, and be ye men of valour, and be in readiness for the conflict; For it is better for us to perish in battle than to look upon the outrage of our nation and our altar. As the Will of God is in Heaven, even so let it be." (1 Maccabees 3:5860)

REST IN PEACE FALLEN BROTHERS!
Rest in Peace, fallen brothers, rest in peace! We who remain hold you in high honor. Rest, fallen brothers, in this sacred precinct; We who remain keep this place sacred. Rest, fallen brothers, among these, your comrades; We who remain keep the watch. Rest, fallen brothers, among these who answered the Nations call; We who remain press the fight forward in your name. Rest, fallen brothers, lay down thy burden; We who remain have taken up the torch. Rest in Peace, fallen brothers, rest in eternal peace!
