The Stone
.
.
Courage loyalty and comradeship,
Qualities they have shown.
Displayed there now forever ,
In black marble stone.
.
.

Carved by craftsmens hands,
Words filled all in gold.
That they may always stay,
With spirits oh so bold.
.
.

You will see there always,
Every single name.
But names they do not matter,
Before God they're all the same.
.
.

Though i did not die with them,
Of me they are a part.
For inside this old mans body,
Beats a soldiers heart.
.
.

Every time i pass that place,
I salute them in my mind.
For truer,braver men than these
You will never find.............
