Saluting with misty eyes

Sixty men
Dying together
Living alone
Maggots and slimey worms
Crawling through the sand
HatredPainHonor
A warrior born
Tradition and Pride
Mountains of volcanic ash
Rosenthal's glory
Fighting on frozen ground
Not one Brother left behind
Starting life
Grabastic pieces
Becoming in the purest form
A man

This is dedicated to all of those who saw the yellow footprints and survived.

But now the animal is in pain...
And now it's starting to rain...
But I'm still the same.

You do have such a wonderful way of putting your ideas across.
Take care,,,,
