May you find comfort in the memories you have made.
A couple passages from the American Legion Manual:
" This moment is sacred with the almost visible presence of the one who
has gone before. We come to honor the memory of one who offered life and service for
God and Country; one who has now enrolled in that great spirit army whose footfalls
cause no sound. But in our memory, their souls go marching on. Proudly we remember
their service in time of war. Because of them, our lives are free; because of them, our
Nation lives; because of them the world is blessed."
"Surely there is an afterlife for all who have been loyal and true, a life to which light and
peace shall come, where the burden shall be lifted and the heartache shall cease, where
the love, the hope and the fulfillment that escape us here shall be given to us, to be ours
forever."
