Sgt. Matthew Abbate, USMC, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marine Regiment, 1st Marine Division, I Marine Expeditionary Force, KIA Afghanistan 2DEC2010
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!
