REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!



2nd Lt. Justin L. Sisson, USA

4th Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault)
KIA Afghanistan 3 June 2013



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!

The furnace has been freezing up - we just changed the filter again. We probably need to have the unit serviced again. It's 35 years old and we never expected it to last long when we moved in.

The building being used by the school today was without A/C. Apparently the A/C will be up in a couple of days.

Good evening, Brother!

Sorry for the delayed response - I was making a righteous comment on the treason of John Kerry on Facebook. I've calmed down now.

How are things going with you? It has been many moons since we chatted.

Excellent Pledge of Allegiance, Mayor! Thank you.

I don’t think anyone in DC even knows it exists.
