T/4 Harvey E. Rookus, USA,
Hq. China Combat Command, WWII, died 18Mar2013





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 3:58–60)

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!

((((((((Sir Knight)))))))))
Thank God your Lady is going to be alright!

[Darksheare]

Do they have any idea what happened?
Or was it some bizarre thing from teh stomach bug?

At any rate, it’s better news than it sounded!

[Old Sarge]

Darks, THAT’S what worries me. There IS no cause for this, nothing that they tested for. A stomach virus would not have caused the radiating pain she had. But given the fact that the nitro reduced her vitals to normal (which I watched in real time), that leads the MD’s to conclude it was cardio-related.

{{{{{{{{ MISS BEEEEEEEEE!!! }}}}}}}}}

I just wish I knew what it was...

[Publius]

Hey, Ms. B.

(GENTLE HUG & ALL THAT OTHER GOOD STUFF)

Been at work all day on Mahler for Saturday night. Should be a good weekend.

[Kathy in Alaska]

As I post, I am only reading them for the second time. I’m really enjoying them.

[Marcella]

Thanks for the report. I’m sure she is worn out by being in the hospital and going through tests. It’s nearly impossible to get rest in a hospital.

I know you will be super nice to her so she won’t have to do much around the house this weekend.

You likely need sleep, too.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, Sarge, for the update. Prayers will continue til she is all better.

[Kathy in Alaska]

Thanks, everyone, for helping “celebrate” my Dad’s time in the service in WWII.

I’ll post more on the next “Remembering Our Troops” thread.

[luvie]

Praise the Lord! So glad it was “only” a virus and I hope rest will help her be better real soon!

[luvie]

Great moon tune, Conor! Thanks for helping out! :)

[PGalt]

Thanks for the snippets, Kathy. Good news, Old Sarge.

America’s finest BUMP!

[MeekMom]

It was an honor getting to learn about your Dad, Ma. What a wonderful man! How lucky you were to have him.

xoxoxoxo,
Meeky

What a wonderful tribute to your father, Kathy.

You have my continuing condolences. I’ve been thinking about you a lot lately.

And so you landed in a Canteen and now we have “The Rest of the Story”

What an adventure he had....and I’m so glad you found this treasure so you could share it with us! :)

I have enjoyed reading them all!

[Kathy in Alaska]

LOL! Yes....this is so.
