Eakes my friend you were a true Soldier. May you rest with God untill we meet again.
In your Honor SGT. Eakes
A Soldier Tears Never Come,
From the rattling of that Gun,
A Soldier Tears Never Fall,
With the Crumbling of the Walls,
A Soldiers Tears are Not Found,
With the Blood Upon the Ground,
A Soldiers Tears Come at Night,
For those we have lost in the Fight.

My deepest sympathy to the family of SGT Lance O. Eakes. I appreciate all of his contributions to our country and may there be a special place for him in heaven. He gave his 'all' so young. He has joined the ranks of heroes and I love him for that. He is America's son, and I am an American. That makes him partly my loss too. I will never forget.

Our sincere condolences to the family and friends of SGT Lance O. Eakes. May God help you though this difficult time and sorrow. Know
your son was and is a Hero to us all. Our thoughts and prayers are with
you always. He will never be forgotten.
Rest Safely and Securely in God's Loving Arms, Lance.
Going home, going home,
I'm just going home.
Quiet-like, slip away-
I'll be going home.
It's not far, just close by;
Jesus is the Door;
Work all done, laid aside,
Fear and grief no more.
Friends are there, waiting now.
He is waiting, too.
See His smile! See His hand!
He will lead me through.
Morning
Star lights the way;
Restless dream all done;
Shadows gone, break of day,
Life has just begun.
Every tear wiped away,
Pain and sickness gone;
Wide awake there with Him!
Peace goes on and on!
Going home, going home,
I'll be going home.
See the Light! See the Sun!
I'm just going home.

Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you: 1. Jesus Christ. 2. The American G.I. One died for your soul, the other for your Freedom. |
