I recite this speech and pray a rosary each St. Crispin's day (25 October)and Veteran's day. I think of my dead both friend and foe, wish and pray them well. So if any read this; pray for our fallen and remember our soldiers.
-Saint Crispin's Day Speech-
-Henery V-William Shakespeare-
"From this day to the ending of the world,
But we in it shall be remembered-
We few, we happy few, we band of brothers;
For he today that sheds his blood with me
Shall be my brother; be he ne'er so vile,
This day shall gentle his condition;
And gentlemen in England now-a-bed
Shall think themselves accurs'd they were not here,
And hold their manhoods cheap whiles any speaks
That fought with us upon Saint Crispin's Day."
REST IN PEACE

Sancta Maria,
Mater Dei,
Ora pro nobis peccatoribus,
Nunc, et in hora mortis nostrae.
Amen

I have written the names will pray for them, your family and you. Send the dead where they must go, they should not stay with you it's not how it is written, please don't give up and send them on. Much Love to you.

Love and Peace to you,
L'Heure Bleue
l'heure bleue-thank you dear, though in truth it has been a crappy day filled with doctors and pain and blood and shitty news. I keep my head up and endeavor to persevere. Your thoughts do strengthen me and Sarah and are indeed wonderful.
But don't dwell on it, it'll eat ya. They're on the other side praying for us.
And I am going to print it out and learn it so I can recite it when I pray.
sorry I am so late, I missed this
from the space in my mind where there was honor in being a soldier I salute you Scylla, and will remember your dead
