I have stood in a thousand formations
and beared witness to the greatest men
who've recieved the greatest honors
I have stood in few formations
where i have cried
tears for my fallen brothers
I have stood at attention
as the casket was loaded
and away they flew
I have flown the heroes
no longer here
and cried every minute
I have rendered a million salutes
but the ones i remember
are for the fallen
With flag draped casket
etched upon my memory
never to see another golden sunset
Lost but never forgotten
the heroes, my brothers, my comrades
for as i breathe you'll never be forgotten
Rest In Peace
Shadow Brethren
SSG Powell And Sgt Silk
May you sleep with angels
on the wings of doves
to the pearly gates at ST. Peters Steps
