“He did a lot more than I ever knew.”

O God, by whose mercy the faithful departed find rest, look kindly on Your departed veteran who gave his life in the service of his country. Grant that through the passion, death, and resurrection of Your Son he may share in the joy of Your heavenly kingdom and rejoice in You with Your saints forever.
I ask this through Christ our Lord
He has proudly served his country.
Now, he proudly serves with angel's wings.
