A Sentry At Your Grave

Just as Jesus watches over you from Heaven, we will watch from here. You kept us safe and gave your life, a debt we cannot repay. Go bravely into the afterlife, this you need not fear. Know that we are so proud of you and for your soul we pray. God has placed a sentry at your grave, his flight will show the way. for Carolyn's "Bald Eagle in the Cemetary" contest Francine Roberts 08/08/2011

Truly, I believe God sent that eagle as a sentry on the tomb to watch over the fallen soldiers, Francine. Congratulations on your third place in the Bald Eagle in the Cemetery contest! Love, Carolyn
