Greg Belanger, you may have heard him mentioned on the news. I work at the Coast Gaurd House resturaunt where he also worked. He was a really nice guy. My brother was friends with him too.

Its just really wierd, when he was first sent to Iraq I thought the chances of him dying out of all the soldiers there were so small. It makes me hate this war in Iraq even more.

I am sorry to hear about your loss. I also hope that you and his family will make sure to keep his spirt alive with great memories of him!

It is sad tho, that this is still happening after the total numbers already!

I send my condolences to you and everyone who knew him.

Eulogy for a Veteran

Do not stand at my grave and weep.
I am not there, I do not sleep.

I am a thousand winds that blow.
I am the diamond glints on snow.

I am the sunlight on ripened grain.
I am the Gentle autumn rain.

When you awaken in the mornings hush,
I am the swift uplifting rush
of quiet birds in circled flight,
I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Do not stand at my grave and cry,
I am not there, I did not die.

Im sorry about your loss, hopefully he is somewhere better than here now.
