Ralph John Harting

West Point, 1998

Be Thou At Peace

Posted by Kathleen M. Cluck on May 12, 2005:

Words fail me at this time. This Poem is by Emily Dickinson.

The Battle-Field.
They dropped like flakes, they dropped like stars,
Like petals from a rose,
When suddenly across the June
A wind with fingers goes.
They perished in the seamless grass,--
No eye could find the place;
But God on his repealless list
Can summon every face.

Jay, God Loves You and So do We. Jay married our Niece Jennifer, I was at the Wedding & remember the Joy that day. It is with Heavy Heart that Jen and Barbara, our sister, lay Jay to Rest.
We Honor the Great Sacrifice that Jay made for our Country.
Rest in Peace Jay, You will be missed.
Kathy
