REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpt. Michael P. Cassidy, USA, KIA Afghanistan 17JUN2010

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!

Good evening, Luv.....I have just been able to get back on FR, BUT only on my laptop. I can’t on my desktop. Because Grammie was on, the duty fell to her. She most graciously “volunteered” to post Star’s “Hall of Heroes” thread. Thank goodness!!
