A Cheyenne Man Died the Other Day by Merrill A. Vaughan Saturday, May 31, 2003 Share Print Save Become a Fan While I never knew this young man, I wish I had. He was the first casualty from Wyoming and one of the first during Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan right after 9-11-01. This poem is dedicated to Spec Jonn J Edmunds US Army Rangers (Deceased)
A young man died the other day Not close to family or home but far away He joined the Army to be the Best He became a Ranger and was above the rest He was there because of the attack on the twin towers While providing backup that night to help others He died when his helicopter crashed Tho his lifetime on earth was short He left his footprint for others to follow One might wonder what made him special He was one of a few which made him exceptional He was an Army Ranger *Merrill Butch Vaughan* Cheyenne, WY
