"It wasn't the reward that mattered or the recognition you might harvest. It was your depth of commitment, your quality of service, the product of your devotion -- these were the things that counted in a life. When you gave purely, the honor came in the giving, and that was honor enough."
                -- Scott O'Grady

My condolescences, brother. Here's to your comrades.
A salute in their honor, A prayer for their sacrifice, A toast to their service.
Blessings upon them & their families or loved ones.

truly beautiful Lord Dane, again.  And I couldn't have said it better.

fair winds and following seas to you Sir Ian, brother.  Their families will be in my prayers.  I too, have students that have given their all, and it's never easy to cope with.

Sir Ian,

God reward your Charity.

A Mass will be offered this month for the repose of the soul of CWO3 Jon Gibson by the Most Rev Dr Joseph Mar Thomas, Prince Bishop of the Hospital of St. John.

Eternal rest grant unto him, Oh Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him.  May his soul and the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.  Amen.

A welcomed eulogy for the departed Grand Master Garland. Thank you for the expression of God's blessings upon those we honor. I'm sure the family will appreciate the thoughts & prayers. God bless you.

Amen.
