their last flight in a flag draped box
finally home to those they loved
a foreign land that took their life
right or wrong they payed the price
uniforms soiled with blood and debris
youth left on a battlefieldmoving forward, refusing to yield
resting now in eternal sleep
flags lined up in many a row
headstones whitewashed in the sun
leaving before your life had begun
