1. Tribute to Fallen Comrades Marker
Sovereign God. May your eternal grace, bless all who have come this way, to honor fallen comrades in this place, may your love and spirit hold sway.
O my lord, we consecrate this token, in honor of chivalrous men who gave all, in acts and deeds unspoken, they dared to heed their country's call.
When one looks upon this tall stone, remember in awe those who gave their life, they loved breath, but bravely stood alone, to die heroically - war's ultimate strife.
Sun shine softly upon this hallowed ground, patriots salute these knights who perished, south wind blow gently all around, give thanks for the honor they cherished.
On lookers who peer at this stately stone, symbolic of heroes gone to rest, remember their bravery stood out alone, give thanks that God gave us his best.
Sovereign God
