Stand ye steady

ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, in whose hands are the living and the dead; We give thee thanks for all those thy servants who have laid down their lives in the service of our country. Grant to them thy mercy and the light of thy presence, that the good work which thou hast begun in them may be perfected; through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord. Amen
–the BCP, 1928
“It don’t matter where a man dies, as long as he dies for freedom.” –Sgt. Dane in Bataan (1943)


Should be required viewing for all of us on Memorial Day…an absolutely beautiful tribute to those who gave their all to the country!
Is ANCIII a relative? Love the “lived not to talk about it” quote.
My pater!
Well, truth be told, he did not serve in Korea, but in England during the Korean War… I’ve always loved that picture of him though.
Good grief–I meant during the Korean conflict! x-(
I know — I was just clarifying for readers who might not know that. 🙂
