My condolences and thoughts to his family and friends. I sadly will not be able to be there but please gods speed my message along.
Cody we are Forever In Your Debt with thanks to those who fought our wars, And those who died on Foreign Shores, We held it tight against the tide, and we shall be forever in your debt. it's time to rest now soldier your body may rest in hollowed ground but you will forever live in our hearts and minds. The trenches have long disappeared in to the ground and the siege guns stopped pounding. It is time for you to rest my brother in arms, of all the monuments they have erected for our fallen the most simple always remains, it's in the bloody trenches of no man's land, The coldest deepest parts of sea, the darkest jungles, the sun baked deserts and countless other battle fields. A pair of boots, a rifle stuck in the ground and helmet on top let's all those know that a hero lays here.
Rest now soldier and a parting glass to you for one day when we are called once more to march side by side into whatever hell may await us I will not know fear because you are at my side as you were in this world and the next.
Rangers lead the way.....
LYRICS:
All the money that e'er I had
I spent it in good company
And all the harm I've ever done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now, I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be to you all!
Fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!
Of all the comrades that e'er I had
They're sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I had
They'd wish me one more day to stay.
Since it fell into my lot
that I should rise,and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!
But since it fell into my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!
So fill to me the parting glass
And drink a health whate'er befalls
Then gently rise and softly call
Good night and joy be to you all!
There is no 'overkill.' There is only 'open fire' and 'I need to reload.
