The Bucky Barnes Wake
I wanted Bucky's eulogy to be immortalized somewhere, so better here where all my friends can see it and use it to remember him.
"Friends, we're gathered here today to celebrate the life of James Buchanan Barnes, better known to his friends as Bucky. Bucky has lived a hard life, from becoming an orphan as a teenager, to partnering with Captain America in the war, to his apparent death and resurrection as the Russian spy and assassin Winter Soldier. But through everything, Bucky's friends never doubted him, and it was this belief, along with the help of his best friend Steve Rogers, that allowed Bucky to cast out the demons that plagued him, making him a force for good once more. And when his friend Steve died, it was Bucky that picked up his mantle so that the legacy of Captain America would live on.
That's the kind of man Bucky was. To those he called friends, he was loyal to a fault, one that could always be counted on in a time of need. There are those that believed he was changed bt his early partnership with Captain America, but we know that it was Captain America himself that was changed by Bucky, by the good in his heart. And it is to that goodness, and his lasting legacy, that we celebrate tonight. My friends, a toast to Bucky Barnes, the most heroic man I have ever met."
