REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!
Sgt. Brian L. Walker, USA, 425th Brigade Special Troops Battalion, 4th Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Division, KIA Afghanistan 13May2012
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 Nations 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!

Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Wow! Who knew! Thanks, Kathy?
Sitting outside with my iPad...it’s so lovely and possibly the last cool evening we’ll have for a while. The breeze is delicious!

Fear Not
May 22, 2012
My wife became seriously ill during her pregnancy with our second child. As the doctors struggled to find the problem, she continued to grow weakerdangerously so.
Watching her suffer was a helpless and horrible feeling for me, and there were days when it felt as if God were not hearing our prayers. One Sunday, while I was looking for comfort from Scripture, my eyes landed on the first verse in Isaiah 43.
Fear not, it begins, and ends with you are Mine. Instantly, the Holy Spirit made the words personal. The intimate way God addresses Israel reminded me of His always-present attention to us too: When you pass through the waters . . . through the rivers . . . through the fire (v.2). Each phrase rose up in crescendo, from the pages to my heart.
Our comfort in that hour came not from promises of healing or miracles, but from knowing we were never alone. We had many other frightening times, including just after Ethans birth, when it looked as if both he and Cheryl would be lost. But God had used His words to comfort us and prepare us for those harder moments!
Let these words be a reminder to you that you are never alone.
At times our fears may loom so large,
We long for proof that God is near;
Its then our Father says to us,
Have faith, My child, and do not fear. D. De Haan
Never forget in the darkness, what you know to be true in the light.
Read: Isaiah 43:1-4

BAND OF BROTHERS
Members of the 101st Airborne, June 7, 1944 at Ste.Marie du Mont France
WORLD WAR II
This day is call'd the feast of Crispian. He that outlives this day, and comes safe home, Will stand a tip-toe when this day is named, And rouse him at the name of Crispian. He that shall live this day, and see old age, Will yearly on the vigil feast his neighbours, And say, "To-morrow is Saint Crispian." Then will he strip his sleeve and show his scars, And say, "These wounds I had on Crispin's day."
Members of the "Chosin Few", 1st Marine Division, December 1950
KOREA
Old men forget; yet all shall be forgot, But he'll remember with advantages What feats he did that day. Then shall our names, Familiar in his mouth as household words, Harry the King, Bedford, and Exeter, Warwick and Talbot, Salisbury and Gloucester, Be in their flowing cups freshly rememb'red. This story shall the good man teach his son; And Crispin Crispian shall ne'er go by, From this day to the ending of the world, But we in it shall be remembered-
Navy Corpsman D. R. Howe treats the wounds of Pfc. D. A. Crum, "H" Company, 2nd Battalion, Fifth Marine Regiment, during Operation Hue City.
VIETNAM
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers; For he to-day that sheds his blood with me Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile, This day shall gentle his condition: And gentlemen in England now a-bed Shall think themselves accursed they were not here, And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's day.
Soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division in action, Afghanistan, 2011
AFGHANISTAN
Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more, Or close the wall up with our English dead. In peace there's nothing so becomes a man As modest stillness and humility; But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger; Stiffen the sinews, summon up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favour'd rage; Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as does a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean.
THE STRUGGLE AGAINST TYRANNY GOES ON. AS IT HAS SINCE TIMES IMMEMORIAL, THE BAND OF BROTHERS STANDS FAST IN THE BREACH!
They have our six!
Honor them for their Service and Sacrifice!

Good evening, Luv!

Thanks for the kind words - Still have some work to do on that one - but I think it will retain the basic form it now has.

Aloha, Biglook! getting ready to pack it in for the evening. I had a particularly arduous PT session tonight. The atrial flutter reared its ugly head during my work on the bike. Had to slow my pace substantially to keep it within limits. The rest of the session went okay but I was totally exhausted.
Sounds like you had a good sojourn earlier today - a young wahine can do a lot to improve your outlook on things.
