This blog is dedicated to an awesome man who gave selflessly for 15 years of his life serving the families of departed American Veterans by conducting military honors for 1,327 men and woman who served this great country to preserve our freedom.

Day is done

Gone the sun

From the Lakes

From the hills

From the sky.

All is well

Safely rest

God is nigh.

Fading light

Dims the sight

And a star

Gems the sky

Gleaming bright.

From afar

drawing nigh.

Falls the night.

Thanks and praise

For our days

Neath the sun

Neath the stars

As we go.

This we know,

God is nigh.

Falls the night.

On February 5, 2007, at Ft. Sill National Cemetery in Elgin, Oklahoma, taps sounded for Chaplain Colonel Boyd E. Fallwell. He passed from this earth on January 31, 2007, to his heavenly reward with his Supreme Commander - our Father God. Boyd loved the Lord Jesus, his family, the United States of America, and "old glory" - the flag of this great Nation! He served his country well and I know he heard these words when he came face to face with God, "Well done, thy good and faithful servant!"

Final honors and salutes were given to this wonderful man just as he gave to so many other departed veterans hundreds of times.

Thanks so very much to all of you who have written wonderful words about my dear precious brother, Boyd. A special guest book is set up for him by the Oklahoman newspaper. You may view it at this website: http://www.legacy.com/Link.asp?I=GB000086282386
