My heart grieves for your family and the path they must now take. You hold a special place for the job you do protecting the parks that I camp in and that have become my refuge for healing since the loss of my Officer. Thank You for the job you did.

The bugler’s call of Taps

Your day is done,
gone the sun,
From the hills,
from the lake,
From the skies.
All is well,
safely rest,
God is nigh.

Warrior, good night,
but must you go,
When the day,
And the night
Still need you so?
All is well.
We will carry you
to your rest.

Go to sleep,
peaceful sleep,
May the warrior,
God keep,
Safe in sleep.
Fades the light;
And afar
Goes the day,
And the stars
Shine bright,
Fare thee well;
Day has gone,
Night is on.

Thanks and praise,
For our days,
'Neath the sun,
Neath the stars,
'Neath the sky,
As warriors go,
This we know,
God is nigh. •

Rest in Peace Margaret, a fellow Ranger gave me this prayer I thought I would share:

A Park Ranger's Prayer

From beautiful sea to shinning sea,
The NPS has designated the National Parks to be,
Nobly preserved by US Park Rangers who are so bold,
No matter if it's a dry, hot summer or a desolate winter so cold.

Whether the trail be long or small,
Whether the tree be short or tall.
From the largest animal in the land,
To the tiniest grain of sand.
If there's a camper lost on a hill,
Or just a visitor who took a spill.
When there's a fire reaching the tops of trees
And the flames are spreading with the breeze.

For all who dub the green & gray
Dear Lord, please help us protect these lands
And help all people each and every day

Ranger Anderson,

You completed Field Training at my park a few years before I arrived here. I probably passed you somewhere at FLETC. My coworkers mourn the loss of a friend. All of your brothers and sisters in the NPS mourn your loss. Rest in Peace. We miss you.

My heart and tears goes out to the family. Some say we don't enough or we don't care. But we give our life to help or protect other. What a price one have to pay and badly get a thank you. Some may say she was only doing her job. Rest In Peace. Park Ranger Margaret Anderson. No more tears in heaven. Thin Blue Line.
