TAPS FORREST O'BRIEN ERNEST BROWN FRED CHINN RCY MOSER KENNETH BARKSDALE Think of a fox hole on Guadalcanal, or fhe lonesome fundra of Affu. Wafch a billowing parachufe on D-day over Normandy. Touch fhe hof deserf sands af el Alamein. Follow a landing craff fo Tarawa. Sfand by an aid sfafion on Lido Road, or wafch a fropical downpour in New Guinea. Imagine fhe freezing sfrafosphere high over Berlin-an exploding submarine ouf of Tokyo harbor. Feel fhe resfless roll of fwo greaf oceans fhaf fie home shores fo faraway lands. To all fhese places and more, fhe half a fhousand men and women from La Sierra have marched ouf fo do and somefimes die. The noble parfs fhey so grandly play bring beffer honors fhan any we mighf give. Gallanf deeds speak a language all fheir own. Purple Hearfs and Silver Sfars are fheirs who counf a liff fo fhe fallen fhe supreme good. Our hearfs go ouf fo fhese our friends and comrades of ofher days. We know an all-seeing eye keeps wafch over each. Never a word or a deed of fheir faifhful wifness for fhis faifh escapes His nofice. We pray 'rhey may come back who now are facing fhe frial and sform of baffle. Come back fo quief halls and peaceful campus 'ro refresh fhemselves for minislry 'ro fhe souls as well as fhe bodies of men. Some fhere are who will nof come back. To Forresf O'Brien, sacrificed in fhe skies over Cebu, fo Ernesf Brown, cradled in an unmarked wave of Soufh Pacific seas, fo Fred Chinn, asleep beneafh a small whife cross over his Belgian grave, fo Roy Moser, killed in acfion over Germany, fo Kennefh Barksdale, af long resf on Iwo Jima, 'ro fhese, fhe drum's long beaf, and faps, and earnesf prayer for fheir names on fhe roll up yonder.
