To special ops Team we the The United People THANK YOU for not only
saving Pfc. Jessica Lynch but bring back the bodies of the other lost
Warriors.


To the men Warriors we say
"Now we become reconciled as you start away. Once you were a devoted provider and protector of your family and you were ever ready to take part in battles" for you tribe. "The United People trusted you."

To the woman Warriors we say
"Now we become reconciled as you start away. You were once a woman in the flower of life and the bloom is now withered away. You once held a sacred position as a mother of the nation. Looking after your family
was a sacred duty and you were faithful." Your call to take arms and
be protector of your family and tribe and to help the men has placed
you where no woman should have been. May the young warriors take your courage as an inspiration and use it to lead them. The United People shall never forget the sacrifice that you have given.

To all we also say
'Persevere onward to the place where the Creator dwells in peace. Let
not the things of the earth hinder you. Let nothing that transpired
while yet you lived hinder you. In hunting you once took delight;
in the game of Lacrosse you once took delight and in the feasts and
pleasant occasions your mind was amused, but now do not allow
thoughts of these things to give you trouble. Let not your relatives
hinder you and also let not your friends and associates trouble your
mind. Regard none of these things."

"Now then, in turn, you here present who were related to these mans
and woman's you who were there friends and associates, behold the path that is yours also! Soon we ourselves will be left in that place. For
this reason hold yourselves in restraint as you go from place to place.
In your actions and in your conversation do no idle thing. Speak not
idle talk neither gossip. Be careful of this and speak not and do not give
way to evil behavior. One year is the time that you must abstain from
unseemly levity but if you can not do this for ceremony, ten days is the
time to regard these things for respect."

"It is the soldier, not the reporter,
Who has given us freedom of the press."
"It is the soldier, not the poet,
Who has given us freedom of speech."
"It is the soldier, not the campus organizer,
Who has given us the freedom to demonstrate."
"It is the soldier, who salutes the flag, who serves beneath the flag,
and whose coffin is draped by the flag,
who allows the protester to burn the flag."

Father Dennis Edward O'Brien, USMC
