MAY THEY FOREVER REST IN PEACE NOW THAT WE HAVE FOUND THEM AND HAVE EMBRACED THE COURAGE THEY DISPLAYED IN THEIR ENDEAVORS TO PROTECT HOME AND FAMILY AGAINST PERCEIVED NORTHERN AGGRESSION.  NEVER IN THE HISTORY OF WARFARE HAS A GROUP OF MEN BEEN MORE DETERMINED AND DEDICATED TO THEIR CAUSE.  AGAINST UNIMAGINABLE ODDS THEY PRESERVERED, HALF CLOTHED AND UNDER FED, FOR THEIR ULTIMATE REWARD OF GLORY AND HONOR.  SUFFERING THE LOSS OF LIFE AND LIMB THEY PAID THE ULTIMATE PRICE FOR THEIR CAUSE.
