ARMY RANGER BROS The two made quite a sacrifice By joining the Army’s elite The motto, "Rangers Lead The Way" Now, for one is bittersweet. They both walked from professions And put it All on the front line To do their Duty to their Country For, Freedoms of yours and mine. He lost his Brother to the enemy In an ambush firefight The Ranger Creed is what He lived by And He believed in what was Right. He said, his Grandpa was at "Pearl" But, felt He hadn’t done His part So, after Nine Eleven He knew what to do, down in His heart. He made the Sacrifice, Supreme And He surely gave His all And in that Army, up in Heaven You can bet He’s standing Proud and Tall. Del "Abe" Jones 24 April 2004 Del "Abe" Jones |

Abe it is so hard to face this loss, and every other one so far. You did a wonderful job expressing what is so difficult to put into words. TD |
