I NEVER DREAMED IT WOULD BE ME,
MY NAME FOR ALL ETERNITY.
RECORDED HERE AT THIS HALLOWED PLACE,
ALAS, MY NAME, NO MORE MY FACE.
"IN THE LINE OF DUTY" I HEAR THEM SAY.
MY FAMILY NOW THE PRICE TO PAY.
MY FOLDED FLAG STAINED WITH THEIR TEARS,
WE ONLY HAD THOSE FEW SHORT YEARS.
THE BADGE NO LONGER ON MY CHEST,
I SLEEP NOW IN ETERNAL REST.
MY SWORD I PASS TO THOSE BEHIND,
AND PRAY THEY KEEP THIS THOUGHT IN MIND.
I NEVER DREAMED IT WOULD BE ME,
AND WITH A HEAVY HEART AND BENDED KNEE,
I ASK FOR ALL HERE FROM THE PAST...
DEAR GOD LET MY NAME BE THE LAST.

MY BROTHER, MAY GOD BLESS YOUR MOTHER AND HELP HER THROUGH THIS AWFUL HARD TIME OF HER LOST. I KNOW THAT THE LOST OF A SON OR DAUGHTER IS HARD TO COPE WITH FOR ANY PARENT. MY BROTHER, YOU WERE A HERO BEFORE YOU DIED AND IN MY OPINION ANY MAN OR WOMAN WHO WEARS OR DID WEAR A BADGE WITH HONOR OR DIGNITY IS A HERO. MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND MAY YOU REST IN PEACE. YOU SERVED WELL.
