Even so when they lay here in this plot, these are my brothers and they're all I've got. They fought and fought, they gave their all, to pay the price of freedom, freedom they sought. For us. They keep us free, ever single night they do it while we sleep, as they do not, and are placed on standby ready to fight. But now they may sleep the sleep of the dead, forever at rest, under the earthy bed. Ah my brothers, how I miss you so, it was a shame to see the way you had to go. NAMES CHANGED FOR RESPECT AND PRIVACY: Daniel How you used to laugh at everything you saw, how you volunteered for every job, and how you thought you were such a great cowboy, and even added the sweet yee-haw! Matthew It's been too long, you held the squad together, so I'm told as you made it through the valley of hell, without you, there'd been no team, I hope you're doing alright, you frickin leather neck. Jason How I hoped to have been you one day, it's so sad now for all of us, you couldn't stay. You had two years left. Two! Life's a ***** sometimes, and so is Death. But that's what happens, when you start placing bets. Arnold Ah the heart of gold, and your soul to God, you're such the geek, and still a trooper, great job, you ner vod. And so many others, that I've known and lost. All for the sake of paying the cost. Of Freedom. So sleep well my fellow Americans, and look well upon our fellow veterans. Thank a vet for all that they do, because of them, you can be you. We owe them at least that much a thank you, if not more, that we don't have anyone worse showing up at our door. Thank also the police, for the lack of anarchy, and think again the next time you loose your precious car key. A minor inconvenience compared to, all of those who serve the same God Blessed, Red. White. And Blue. Amen.
