REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

Cpl. Nicholas G. Xiarhos, USMC, KIA 23JUL2009

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!
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!

No emergencies, all seems back to normal. Week will close out nicely if all holds true.

Any oddities for you?

[AZamericonnie]

Very nice to see you as well Conor! *hugs*

Did you get caught up on your rest?

[ConorMacNessa]

Actually, I'm a little under the weather tonite - felt really crummy today - not so bad now. :)

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

It is purchased with the blood of Patriots!

[Kathy in Alaska]

Hiya, Mac...*HUGS*...did you sleep better last night? Hope you rested well.

[ConorMacNessa]

Thanks Kathy - slept better last night but am under the weather this evening - was sick at work but stuck it out - I think I'm getting over it.

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[luvie]

Yep...glad it’s Friday!

I will be out of town this weekend, and where I am going...to my aunt’s house...there is very little internet connection to speak of. So....I might not get to post tunes this weekend if I can’t get my aircard to work.

I am going to enjoy being out in the country with the bunnies, though.:D

[luvie]

Awwwww...sorry you’re not feeling well. Hope you’re better soon!

THE SOLDIER’S CODE

---

Gen Dwight D. Eisenhower addresses troops of the 101st Airborne Division prior to D-Day Normandy, 5JUN1944

The Soldier’s Code

1) I am an American fighting man. I serve in the forces which guard my country and our way of life. I am prepared to give my life in their defense.

2) I will never surrender of my own free will. If in command, I will never surrender my men while they still have the means to resist.

3) If I am captured, I will continue to resist by all means available. I will make every effort to escape and aid others to escape. I will accept neither parole nor special favors from the enemy.

4) If I become a prisoner of war, I will keep faith with my fellow prisoners. I will give no information or take part in any action which might be harmful to my comrades. If I am senior, I will take command. If not, I will obey the lawful orders of those appointed over me, and will back them up in every way.

5) When questioned, should I become a prisoner of war, I am bound to give only name, rank, service number, and date of birth. I will evade answering further questions to the utmost of my ability. I will make no oral or written statements disloyal to my country and its allies, or harmful to their cause.

6) I will never forget that I am an American fighting man, responsible for my actions, and dedicated to the principles which made my country free. I will trust in my God and in the United States of America.

President Dwight D. Eisenhower, August, 1955.
