To fallen soldiers let us sing
Where no rockets fly nor bullets wing
Our broken brothers let us bring
To the Mansions of the Lord
No more bleeding, no more fight
No prayers pleading through the night
Just divine embrace, eternal light
In the Mansions of the Lord
Where no mothers cry and no children weep
We will stand and guard though the angels sleep
Through the ages safely keep
The Mansions of the Lord!

RIP 68KO <>
When I die bury me in a P38.

I watch day after day, week after week, tour after tour, the Bishops and Rooks take bases and win maps while the Knights stand there with their thumbs stuck in their butts. It's just pathetic!

How very very sad, I've tagged along with KO and others from the 68th many times. Seemed like a great guy....sometimes its hard to fathom why things happen.

I still am in shock, and filled with much sadness. I will truely miss KO(keep hoping its a hoax,though I unfortunately know it's not) he did much to help make this a better game.  I've known him many years, he was the one that brought me and eventually my squad into FSO.  He truely lived for this game and the people in it, I know myself and our squad will deeply miss him. I considered him a true friend. Hope to hear the words again one day from him "Thanks for joining the 68th's mission"

I will truely miss ya Bud

I don't even know what to say. I am totaly shocked. I just flew with him about a month ago. Whenever he saw me in a tower he asked me to fly with him. The C-Hawks have got together and flown with the 68th quite a few times. We all are shocked over this.

My prayers and condolences.

68KO Sir

GodSpeed to you.
