Unhappy Today a Marine was buried.

Today November 26th 2002 A United States Marine Was buried , at the new National Cemetary In Kent,Washington. Sarg.Charles Olsen Jr. Former Marine and !00% disabled veteran was put to rest with full Military Honors. It was a Funeral fitting a man who gave 12 years of his life to his country. Chuck was very proud of his service to country and his family was and stillis very proud of him. He will be missed greatly but he now has both his legs again, To stand tall and guardhaven's gate until we all walk through. God bless Chuck and Semper Fi

sn-e3,

It's a shame to loose a vet. But life is what it is. Now he's got a tougher job he'll be recruiting other's to make the journey.

I hope when I make the transition over that someone is there to meet me. Maybe Mr. Olsen will show me the ropes.

God rest his soul. Amen

Default Another Marine

My Dad had a funeral with Military Honors. Not only were the Marines there, but also some of the guys that he battled with in the Pacific. Funny, but a comforting thought that I had at the time was that now he can stand tall with two legs again! The last two years of my father's life I took care of him as much as I could, and he became my best friend. I still miss that!
(I guess this thread turned into my therapy session for today!)

Jane,

You're good daughter and I'm sure your Dad was very proud of you and grateful for taking care of him when needed.

Default Go Rest High On That Mountain

recorded by Vince Gill

I know your life
on earth was troubled
and only you could know the pain.
You weren't afraid to face the devil,
you were no stranger to the rain.


Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done.
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
love for the Father and the Son.

Oh, how we cried the day you left us
we gathered round your grave to grieve.
I wish i could see the angels faces
when they hear your sweet voice sing.

Go rest high on that mountain
Son, your work on earth is done.
Go to heaven a-shoutin'
love for the Father and the Son.


(Thinkin about you and yours brother)
