"I'm asking You God, to give me what You have left.
Give me those things which others never ask of You.
I don't ask You for rest, or tranquility.
Not that of the spirit, the body, or the mind.
I don't ask You for wealth, or success, or even health.
All those things are asked of You so much Lord,
that you can't have any left to give.
Give me instead Lord what You have left.
Give me what others don't want.
I want uncertainty and doubt.
I want torment and battle.
And I ask that You give them to me now and forever Lord,
so I can be sure to always have them,
because I won't always have the strength to ask again.
But give me also the courage, the energy,
and the spirit to face them.

I ask You these things Lord,
because I can't ask them of myself."
(Foreign Legion Paratroopers Prayer)


Rest in peace brother, we'll take the watch from here.

The Sea Called Him Home Today

She is stronger than all of us, mighty and fierce.
We, mere mortals, can only visit her for a short time.
Baptism takes place as the salt water soaks in through our pores.
During immersion, we unintentionally swallow mouthfuls of brine.
Little pieces of the sea stay inside us.
When we work hard, the sweat comes out, but the sea stays inside.
When we cry, the tears are salty, but the sea stays inside.
The sea water gets in our blood, our lungs, our loins, and our hearts.
And one day, when we aren’t quite ready, the sea calls to one of us.
The sea has many costumes and sometimes we cannot tell that it is her.
She can wear a veil that imitates disease.
She can wear a long frock that looks like an accident.
She can wear a cloak of disguise pretending to be old age.
But, oh, our sea, she can also be a blanket, soft and warm.
The saltwater cape comforting our friends and families.
Icy waters stilled by the shock of our loss.
Waves rise in a silent dark salute to our hero.
Now, she shares her shroud of immeasurable time and infinite depth with one of us,
Matched only by the elements of our grief and our love.
We, the mortals, are left with the pain of having to go on.
But the sea, she is inside us, as she was inside Ronald Gill,
When she came to take him home.

The Gill Family,
I'm really sorry to hear about Ronald. I just got out of the Coast Guard in Dec. I'm also 26 and had just over 4 years active duty time. I was a BM3, and it really hit home when I heard about your son/husband/dad. I am half way through the police academy for a MA city, and we read about the law enforcement officers that get killed in action everyday, when I heard there was a Coastie, I wanted to extend my condolences. I know he died fighting the good fight, I'm really sorry for your loss.
