A buddy
Craig was my friend at college. He joined my Judo Club and we put on exhibitions. It broke my heart to attend his funeral.

honoring you....
Great sadness fills our hearts today
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.
This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye
But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.
The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.
While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.
This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye
But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.
The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.
While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.

TRUSTED FRIEND
I WAS WITH GEORGE WHEN HE WAS KILLED. I WAS ONE OF TWO PLATOON MEDICS. WHEN I FOUND GEORGE HIS FATE WAS QUITE OBVIOUS. I GAVE HIM, AS I GAVE ALL MY FALLEN PEOPLE THE LAST RIGHTS. WE WILL REMEMBER HIM ALWAYS.
