It was written the day before,
crossing the line for war.
We all prayed no one would see,
It'd never reach family.

Dressed in blue flew by plane,
Had to be the one to explain.
How he served his country well,
How bravley fought and fell.

Tears from family staining soul,
Did my best to feign control.
Falling apart on the inside,
For my Marine that died.

Sorry I had to deliver the letter,
For doing made me fell no better.
But who else for such a delivery,
For a Marine that fought and died for me!!

In memory 3rd bn 5th Mar casualities in Iraq..
May they rest in peace.

Of all I've lost; I miss my innocence the most.

And my God bless them every single one. A lovely dedication, and a beautiful poem.

Thank you, Albert. We do all we can
for our fallen comrades' families,
and I am glad you were able to see
your mission all the way through,
though each step wore heavy.

I am glad to see you here again, my friend, but so sorry it is under these circumstances.
Heart hugs and warm thoughts to you and all those you've sought to comfort.
