In Remembrance Mt. Fuji Fire 25 year Anniversary
My brothers! It's been 25 years since that day that you took the final freedombird to be with our Lord and Marine family that has gone on before us! We haven't ever let a day go by that we don't remember you and all the times we shared, through the great times and sad times. Through the dear john letters, weddings and births at home! Everyday is just like yesterday, as we move on! We, that have survived, have moved on, but not without you. We have kept you close, deep in our hearts, memories, and daily thoughts! We have shared our times together, with family and friends throughout the years! Yes, we even have shed many selfish tears at times that we remember! But, we REMEMBER and WE WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER!!! You will never be forgotten!!
Rest easy my brothers! The Lord is standing watch!!!!
Until we meet again, at the gates, Semper Fi!!!

"Death is nothing at all. I have only slipped away into the next room.
I am I, and you are you. Whatever we were to each other, that we still are.
Call me by my old familiar name, speak to me in the easy way which you always used.
Put no difference in your tone, wear no forced air of solemnity or sorrow.
Laugh as we always laughed at the little jokes we enjoyed together.
Play, smile, think of me, pray for me.
Let my name be ever the household word that it always was.
Let it be spoken without effort, without the trace of shadow on it.
Life means all that it ever meant.
It is the same as it ever was; there is unbroken continuity.
Why should I be out of mind because I am out of sight?
I am waiting for you, for an interval, somewhere very near, just round the corner.
All is well."
