Late
 
Haven't visited the site in a bit. Very sad to hear Drifter is no longer with us in body, but he is in soul. It's been said a person never dies till he is forgotten, it will be a long time before drifter is forgotten. By then we'll be with him.

May his wife and family each think of a very funny story involving Roger. May they keep that in mind on March 15th. May he leave his loved ones with a collective smile. May they remember him with good thoughts.

Till our next assignemnt my friend.

Andy

This is a poem Dedicated to the Marines that have given their life for our country

THE FINAL INSPECTION


The Marine stood and faced God
Which must always come to pass
He hoped his shoes were shining
Just as brightly as his brass.
"Step forward now, you Marine,
How shall I deal with you?
Have you always turned the other cheek?
To My Church have you been true?"
The Marine squared his shoulders and
said, "No, Lord, I guess I ain't
Because those of us who carry guns
Can't always be a saint.
I've had to work most Sundays
And at times my talk was tough,
And sometimes I've been violent,
Because the world is awfully rough.
But, I never took a penny
That wasn't mine to keep...
Though I worked a lot of overtime
When the bills got just too steep,
And I never passed a cry for help,
Though at times I shook with fear,
And sometimes, God forgive me,
I've wept unmanly tears.
I know I don't deserve a place
Among the people here,
They never wanted me around
Except to calm their fears.
If you've a place for me here, Lord,
It needn't be so grand,
I never expected or had too much,
But if you don't, I'll understand."
There was a silence all around the throne
Where the saints had often trod
As the Marine waited quietly,
For the judgment of his God,
"Step forward now, you Marine,
You've borne your burdens well,
Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,
You've done your time in Hell."

Sorry we didn't post sooner. He was appreciated and will be missed.
