Fallen Soldier
A gentle giant with a heart that complements his compassion to help and protect
humanity from the evils bestowed upon family and friends assuring them peace
with a blissful ignorance that everything is sound.
Protecting us, as we are a nation, from threats over seas, a natural leader is born
from out of the ash, which consumes the hearts of most with a horror of death as
he alleviates this fear with honor and bravery.
Within his friends, which were spawned in the depths of the pines, lies a
company of his fellow soldiers in this war of addiction, that will miss the laughter
and wisdom he shared, allowing this adventure a bit easier to believe life in
recovery is possible.
Many people loved and cared a great deal for Gordon, as we shed tears of
sorrow over the memory of this magnificent being that God blessed this world
with proving that angels do walk amongst man
As big as his heart was that helped and nurtured the people close to him, it was
also the source of his tragic end as a mortal to this planet, but not the end of his
soul, for he is a guardian angel on my shoulder and that of the people closest to
him.
He will always remain in the hearts of the many people he touched throughout
the years and especially the men of Lebanon Pines.
