"christian soldier" let war take me for I have seen and screamed in fear as death's hand bruised my flesh held dying breaths and listened to last words of gods and men my destiny of honor lies denied in pits of putrid flesh I could not save silent mouths agape with absent words like deafened cannons roar from quiet graves though I could not heal the wounded with these bloodied hands their wounds beseech my fingers even now as they trace the names of comrades lost and salute the souls of brothers never known "The greatest of all faults is to be conscious of none." |

'as they trace the names of comrades lost and salute the souls of brothers never known'. This touches the heart, may they never be forgotten. [This message has been edited by SPIRIT (02-16-2003 04:00 PM).] |

It has been said that walls should not have names of the lost on them, but only the found. Thank you. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |
