But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus the Messiah.
 
Therefore, my dear brothers, be steadfast, unmovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that the work that you do for the Lord isn't wasted.
 
The third fold is made in honor and remembrance of the veteran departing our ranks who gave a portion of life for the defense of our country to attain a peace throughout the world.
 
The fourth fold represents our weaker nature, for as American citizens trusting in God, it is to Him we turn in times of peace as well as in times of war for His divine guidance.
 
The fifth fold is a tribute to our country, for in the words of Stephen Decatur, "Our country, in dealing with other countries, may she always be right; but it is still our country, right or wrong."
 
The sixth fold is for where our hearts lie. It is with our heart that we pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
 
The seventh fold is a tribute to our Armed Forces, for it is through the Armed Forces that we protect our country and our flag against all her enemies, whether they be found within or without the boundaries of our republic.
 
The eighth fold is a tribute to the one who entered in to the valley of the shadow of death, that we might see the light of day, and to honor mother, for whom it flies on Mother's Day.
 
The ninth fold is a tribute to womanhood; for it has been through their faith, love, loyalty and devotion that the character of the men and women who have made this country great have been molded.
 
The tenth fold is a tribute to father, for he, too, has given his sons and daughters for the defense of our country since they were first born.
 
The eleventh fold, in the eyes of a Hebrew citizen, represents the lower portion of the seal of King David and King Solomon, and glorifies, in their eyes, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
 
The twelfth fold, in the eyes of a Christian citizen, represents an emblem of eternity and glorifies, in their eyes, God the Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost.
 
When the flag is completely folded, the stars are uppermost, reminding us of our national motto, "In God we Trust.
 
After the flag is completely folded and tucked in, it takes on the appearance of a cocked hat, ever reminding us of the soldiers who served under General George Washington and the sailors and marines who served under Captain John Paul Jones who were followed by their comrades and shipmates in the Armed Forces of the United States, preserving for us the rights, privileges, and freedoms we enjoy today.
 
Brother, you know me. My brothers that died for us are in my heart.

To my fallen brothers... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... for each of them

Did u have a rough day at the office? Sorry, Spartacus. Hugs.
sort of the point of the casual photos of me is to telegraph my nonchalance
some funerals are more showtime than others
I show up and shake hands
I've done about 2 thousand of these
think about that

nevertheless
I wanted to tribute that man

I know exactly what you mean. I don't have any idea about how many of the dead I have hauled or tried to save....but nowhere close to your number. It would take me several more years to witness your experiences with death. I have much respect for you. I don't know about you, but sometimes it is very routine...just a job to me. But even after my 8 years, something happens and it makes me feel new to it all...or too old and tired of it all. Maybe it is the day or the mood but the death creeps back in. I hope you don't go through this,2. I hope it's just me because its hell.
Either way, thanx for sharing this with us. He deserved it.

I understand. Everything would be nothing if we tried to do anything else. I have tried to explain this a gazillion times. There is really no way to understand unless you have been there. I would just get fired from any other job. How could I ever take anything else seriously? It is so hard to explain but I bet you know exactly what I am talking about. Btw- you took some excellent pictures, especially considering you were at work to run the show instead of being the photographer.
