I dedicate this poem to Atrus. They say you can judge a man by his art. Atrus was a very beautiful young man.
.........
In Memory Of...

On one summer night our lives were changed
with the death of our friend and the pain that it brings

Raising his hand for the Imperial Eagle so true
To defend the values held by so few

Giving his sweat, blood, and tears
To defend a galaxy we all hold so dear

He flew his starfighter and supported us too
He called us family with a heart that said "I love you."

He was stationed on planets both hot and cold
To defend the values we hold so bold

His name lives on, written in stone
We will never forget, because he defended our home.

Dedicated his life for the Imperial Eagle so true
For our fallen friend....I salute you.

{raises hand and gives FA Atrus one final imperial salute}

That's a great poem Maj. I agree with Japer, sadly a thing of such beuty came from such a sad incicident, but nonetheless, it is a good poem and well summarizes my personal feelings about this. Atrus, friend, once again, you will be missed.

I think I may just say, in reply to Jedi's post, that it all brings tears to the eyes, the very thought of such a good friend no longer being around is devastating, and depressing.

Yeah...oh..I SAID that: Isn't it strange how a whole bunch of people come together when someone dies, but never too much people when someone gives birth to life. You know, the thought of Atrus gone brings a whole new meaning to the word Navy, in my opinion...it won't be the same without him.
