Veteran Soldier

For those who have gone before

In and out deaths door

Where footsteps and shadows stayed

In souls scared memories remain...

The places, faces, and names

of all the soldiers who lived

Here to eternity, victory or death,

for Duty, Honor, Country...

Chiseled in hearts of stone

Banners waving with flags flown

Lest we forget!!

The places, faces, and names

in our hearts memories remain.

Veteran Soldier

I Honor Thy Name
