Getting the August Message in

Posted by MillRatUSMC aka Ricardo on 8/3/2002, 7:35:25

In the month of May, I lost a Marine Brother.
On June 12 at 2200 or 10:00pm I lost my last brother, Robert Palacios.
At the end of this last month, from 26 June to 28 June, I was working as a volunteer on a "Moving Wall" own by Dignity Memorial Inc.
It help us in dealing with our griefing for our loss of our two brothers.
We're here for just a short time.
Some of us, we'll leave very little or nothing at all to mark our presence.
Others will leave a great deal behind to mark their presence.
Of all that left behind, some will contest their siblings for all they can get.
So who is better than other?
We come into this world naked and with nothing at all.
So regardless of how much we save and store.
All that will be left behind.
You can't take anything to the grave.
So care for your "brother" here on earth.
So with these thoughts.
I will now close this message.
May God bless you and yours.

It must be forged, tested and used.
