Rest easy Soldier, your duty is now done.
You gave all you had to give. Not for God nor Country, not mom's apple pie. You life you scaraficed, most will never know why. Those who knew you, ask God daily. Why him God, oh why. If I could only share wth them, what only we warriors know. Their chests would swell, their heads would be held high. Knowing that their son had given his life so that his buddy, his friend, his brother, would not have to make this sacrafice. Mom trust this total stranger, who writes to you now. There's only a few things that scare a Soldier more then his own demise. First on the list is having to say I'm sorry to his buddy's mom as they stand watching him being lowered down to sleep forever, tears flowing from both their eyes..
