Greetings everyone, here is something I wrote about a death of a covert Ops soldier.
It applies to the Tomb of the Unknown even more.

____________________________________________________________

In Honor of the fallen unknown:

There are soldiers in many places

For some, we're allowed to see their faces

For others, are required to stay hidden

and do the orders that they are bidden.

If a known, brave soul's life comes to pass

we're told who he is and that he's home at last

If a hidden one dies while he's doing the plan

he's known only to his family and not the average man.

He's on a covert mission, so we are told

He died a soldier's way, and his life was bold

He's a hero to us, in each and every way,

because he died protecting the U.S. of A.

I love this poem you wrote, Johnny.
And, yes, it applies beautifully to The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
