I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)
Eternal Father, Strong to Save
REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
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, amid these who heeded 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!

God Bless you and your men. We move forward with them in mind.
Saint Michael the Archangel, defend us in battle, be our protection against the malice and snares of the devil. May God rebuke him we humbly pray; and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly host, by the power of God, thrust into hell Satan and all evil spirits who wander through the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

Great tribute!
I was with Lima, 3/26, in Arizona Territory for Operation Taylor Common in Feb 1969. We went out with 243 men, returned three weeks later with 90 to 95. Most of the casualties were wounded, malaria or dysentery, but we did have about 40 KIA.
Good men, good friends.

Welcome home and thanks for your service, Bwana! Taylor Common was just before I got in country. We went from ops in Arizona to Pipestone Canyon - the clear and defoliate op in Gonoy Island. Didn't lose too many there but the survivors are Agent Orange veterans.

Thanking God for the troops who gave it all for my country, me and my family. Your sacrifice will never, ever be forgotten.

Great post!
Just remember they are not gone, but standing post in Heaven, their bodies maybe gone, but the CORPS is forever, so ergo as long as you were part of our CORPS you will be forever.
SEMPER FI, Brothers in arms & harms way!
