April 8th

Day 8

If I fall, I fall for you..

I fall so you can stand.

Stand free and proud,

In the morning I will fight like no man has ever battled before.

For it is for you my family.

Tomorrow I will have the strength of ten men,

For I fight for the greatest cause any man could fight for,

The freedom of my loved ones and realm.

Weep not for me my children, rejoice that I was your father and husband.

Rejoice that I was one of Lord Heikan’s fifth army.
