Be Thou At Peace

Posted by CPT Tyler R. Donnell on July 9, 2009:

Mark,

The news of your death strikes close to home as we lose another one of our brothers. Your character and legacy run deep through our class and your memory will not be forgotten.

I pray for you and your family. Well done: Be thou at peace.

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes short again and again, who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spends himself in a worthy cause, who at best knows achievement and who at the worst if he fails at least fails while daring greatly so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat." ~ Theodore Roosevelt (From a speech given in Paris at the Sorbonne in 1910)
