In the night of cold dark air she walks alone and wonders where the promises made took flight she knows inside the only thing she can count on are the blues blowing soft when it gets to much to bare.
She wraps her arms around her self for comfort from the chill and wills herself to put those steps one ahead of the other without looking back to see if he is there.
While
Blues blow soft in cold night air.

I pray that Brian was not in any pain when he passed over.
I pray that he is with the Father now where he will forever be at peace.
God bless his entire family.
Much love,

Thanks for the ping - I wish the news weren’t so sad.
Tonk will be missed by all his comrades....even though most of us never met him in person. He set the example and gave his country everything that he had. That’s all anyone can ask.

...and one more thing, Tonk. Warriors deserve to be sent off properly. The words of the "Ka Mate" Haka are a celebration of Life over Death. This is appropriate and fitting, because the Free Republic celebrates your life, today. As is befitting and deserving of a mighty Warrior when he passes.
So here goes:
Ka mate, ka mate! Ka ora! ka ora!
Ka mate! Ka mate! Ka ora! Ka ora!
Tēnei te tangata pūhuruhuru
Nāna nei i tiki mai whakawhiti te rā
A upa ... ne! ka upa ... ne!
A upane kaupane whiti te ra!
HI!
Yours, Aye
In Warrior Spirit

Thank you for that link. The Coasties out there are a very nice bunch — I’ve emailed with one of them.

“I don’t know who this man is
But It seems appropriate for Tonk”
Sir......
“TONK” is what ANY father hopes and desires what his son(s) would grow up to be like.
Brian is an honest AMERICAN HERO.
A MAN among MEN.
This Marine would have been more than proud to have stood by his side in any situation.
SEMPER FI, Tonk!!
