Be Thou At Peace

THE LAST SHALL BE FIRST....
You anchored the line for us in 68;Thanks to you there was no one left to graduate. With your crossing of the stage, we all began life on a new page. History has written the story for all; some short, some long, some good, some we can't recall. But your life is remembered, though short its days, for it was one of distinction in many different ways. Each of us in front of you did not envy your fate,yet the last showed us all that there was no task too great!
You made it!!! You are remembered!!! We shall all join you someday
as the Long Gray Line continues as a Corps of Brothers.
