THOSE NOW GONE
---- by Roger W Hancock
Fallen Servicemen,
for country fought;
liberty, freedom,
the primary reason.
They gave themselves,
that we be free.
Fathers, mothers,
sisters, and brothers;
our dearly departed,
life for country given.
Families broken,
for liberty.
Veterans who served,
and lived to tell;
the horrors, and risks,
now sleep in peace.
Served their country,
for our security.
Unknown Soldier, MIA,
remembrance our way,
to honor you as well,
victims of a warriors hell.
Served, now lost that,
our lives be free.
Sleep now Sleep tight
rest now, duty done,
price paid in life or death.
The vigilance now be ours.
