In your heart . . . In your mind . . . In your soul . . . A band of brothers Who loved their country . . . Who paid the ultimate toll . . . Always remember to never forget our patriots who gave their all for comrades around them falling whose names now grace The Wall chiseled on our minds and hearts as we turn and stroll away their burnished eyes in our backs so real, so close, still touching us today frozen, pleading to our weeping souls that search for answers still their untold stories yet unfolding some forever buried on a foreign hill that lingers in their eyes of bronze in metaphoric silent stares that pierce our hearts . . . as they should lest, caught off guard. . . no one cares.

I f y o u a r e a b l e, Save for them a place Inside of you, And save one backward glance When you are leaving, For the places they can no longer go, Be not ashamed to say You loved them, Though you may or May not always have, Take what they have left And what they have taught you With their dying And keep it with your own, And in that time When men decide, and feel safe, To call the war insane, Take one moment to embrace Those gentle heroes You left behind.
