- In Eternal Memory -
 
 
Liberty has opened her arms, calling our fallen brothers home…
 
The battlefields lay silent but for the sound of our tears against the earth, now and forever a melody of the saints. There is no comfort worthy of such great sacrifice, no lyrics able to do the truth of heroism justice. Only our memories of those loved and lost can ease the terrible price we have paid that others may know the shelter of independence.
 
Today we have whispered goodbye to two favored sons of America. We have given their souls to rest in the loving arms of heaven that they may find eternal peace.
 
Freedom demands the blood of patriots…
… we have stained the sands crimson.
