At ease, Soldiers, you've earned your rest. For the families and loved ones left behind, there'll be none ...

Until my dying breath, I will
not forget sacricices, paid.
The blood of our soldiers
demands we remember:
July, the deadliest month.

Outstanding and moving write Karla
"The final Tear"
Tap is played,
the lone piper
paces his final steps
upon our hero's grave
with a farewell hymn
Of Amazing Grace.......

Love & Peace be with you

| Every Sunday on the beach in Santa Monica they put a marker in the sand for each soldier killed. It's quite an array of markers these days. Really brings it home. Very moving. |
