We honor the memory of our fellow post members who offered their life in the service of country and who has now enrolled in that great spirit army, whose footfalls cause no sound, but in the memory of mankind, their souls go marching on, sustained by the pride of service in time of war.
Because of them the world our lives are free; because of them our nation lives; because of them the world is blessed.Our reverence for our departed comrades will never fade.Our heavenly father in his infinite wisdom has transferred our comrades to the jurisdiction of the Post Everlasting of The American Legion. May their souls rest in Peace.
These fellow legionnaires have been ordered to that realm in the West, beyond the twilight and the evening star, where beauty and valor and goodness dwell forever with the unnumbered multitude.
Mindful of service nobly done, you have called our comrades to everlasting rest.
Let us not enshroud their memory with thoughts of sorrow. Tears or words of sympathy cannot bring back the comfort of those loving hands or the music of voices stilled. The solemn pride of that service is theirs, and for the living to remember.
We realize how futile are mere words to express our deep and abiding sympathy to the loved ones of our departed post members. May you feel our comrades are at rest, and in endless peace. They have gone into the Great Beyond with hearts filled with wistful longing, as all must go.
Surely there is an afterlife for all who have been loyal and true, a life to which light and peace shall come, where the burden shall be lifted and the heartache shall cease, where the love, the hope and the fulfillment that escape us here shall be given to us, to be ours forever.
Farewell to our friends, legionnaires and comrades.
Those remaining salute you.
