Rocky Update
Just got off the phone with Rocky.
He is still upset and doesn't know what to say and is still dealing with funeral stuff.
Chris was burried Saturday and he is still getting things set
He really wants everyone to know how much he appreciates your thoughts and prayers. He still hasn't been on LN but hopes to soon.
I told him about this thread and how much all of you support and love him and will be waiting for him to get back on LN.
I still can't imagine what Rocky and Montana's family is going through.

Rocky,my thoughts and prayers bro....
Fred.

Just wanted to say one more thing or two
Rocky really wants to thank everyone and misses everyone. He is not talking to anyone but his family and doctors at the VA.
Only reason he talks to me is that we have became BEST Friends over the years and even that's not easy for him to talk to me. Sometimes its good for him just to have me on the phone to listen.
He will be back soon I hope and it does my heart good to see all of you Marines coming to his aid at this hard time of his life.
They are putting Chris's name on the back side of Rocky's mothers grave stone, Chris is burried behind Rocky's mom.
Believe me I have told Rocky about all of your good wishes.
Montana he said his heart really goes out to you also.

My prayers and thoughts are still with you and your family. We are all and always will be here for you. Nothing can ever break our bond brother.



The Rose Beyond The Wall

Near shady wall a rose once grew,
Budded and blossomed in God's free light,
Watered and fed by morning dew,
Shedding its sweetness day and night.

As it grew and blossomed fair and tall,
Slowly rising to loftier height,
It came to a crevice in the wall
Through which there shone a beam of light.

Onward it crept with added strength
With never a thought of fear or pride,
It followed the light through the crevice's length
And unfolded itself on the other side.

The light, the dew, the broadening view
Were found the same as they were before,
And it lost itself in beauties new,
Breathing its fragrance more and more.

Shall claim of death cause us to grieve
And make our courage faint and fall?
Nay, Let us faith and hope receive-

THE ROSE STILL GROWS BEYOND THE WALL.
