The Final Salute
“Brothers in Arms”, Military men and women down through the centuries, have traditionally exchanged “Hand Salutes” as a sign of recognition and as a way to render courtesy and respect one to another.
This “Hand Salute” is the last that we shall render to LCpl William Crouse our Brother in Arms. To his family it symbolizes the love and respect that we have for William. And to William it is rendered as a symbol of honor and gratitude to thank him for the ultimate sacrifice he made for his country while opposing enemy forces in Afghanistan. No greater love is shown than a man lay down his life for another. William, you are a brave Marine Warrior, a true Patriot and a national Hero. With your passing, our Country has lost a National Treasure. We bid you a sad farewell. You will be dearly missed from among our ranks. Be at ease. Rest in Peace.
On behalf of the 1,335 Legionnaire Veterans of Lowe-McFarlane Post 14 of the American Legion in Shreveport, Louisiana, I extend our sympathies and our condolences to William’s family and loved ones. Semper Fi !

To the Family of
LCpl. William H. Crouse IV
I wish I had the right words to say at this time, but I know there are none. I grieve for the loss of your beloved son and I know that I cannot fathom the pain you must be feeling. Your son will not be forgotten and what he did to help protect our homeland and our freedoms. It was his life that made him a Hero. It was his noble path that made him an American Hero. It was his ultimate sacrifice that made him a Fallen Hero. May God carry him to Heaven on His precious wings and give him a palace to live in. I pray that our Heavenly Father above will grace you with His love, His comfort and His peace. Heaven's Gates now has a new handsome Marine standing guard. Amen.

To a dear grieving family, as your Blue Star Banner is replaced by one with a Golden Star, remember that you are not alone in your grief for your gallant young man. No Marine ever dies alone. He simply joins the brotherhood stretching through each warrior who has gone on before him. To quote a Marine Gunny Sgt, "Marines die, that's what we're here for, but the Corps lives on; therefore, you will live on as well." Thank you for your sacrifice of this fine young man. As long as the Eagle, Globe, and Anchor remain, his memory will never dim.
Semper Fidelis, family.
