THE WALL OF FACES

Sad to say, I was there when it happened at 15.28 hours. Rest in Peace, Joe.
Jeff Erskine, Major USAF (Ret)

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

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.

SGT Joe Nathan Tucker is buried in the Rockford AME Church Cemetery in Mount Carmel, SC.

Your sacrifice is not forgotten.

HOOAH

Time passes quickly. Please watch over America, it still needs your strength, courage, guidance and faithfulness, especially now. Rest in peace with the angels.
