Heavy does the news of the fallen come to our nation's heart.
Thus falls heavy (sadness) in their faraway nation where their journey began, if not far from the vision and the dreams that their (our) nation bespeaks.
Thus falls heavy in the hearts of their beloved, if not the stranger whose admiration of their service brings us together (e pluribus unum).
Thus falls heavy in the stirrings of the universe, a mightiness that sometimes seems indifferent to the passions of the earth, let alone the passing of one that shakes the vision of the earth, if not the universe anew.
Thus falls the heroic in the arms of the Almighty, where heaviness ceases to dwell, and inspiration transcends for generations to come.
[In honor of our fallen troops.]
