In Honor of Brother's Week and The Fourth of July...A Tribute to ALL Fallen Warriors through the years.
At Home in Arlington
It has been several years
Since we’ve heard the bugler’s call
The plaintive strains of Taps
Cut through the silence on the mall
With heavy hearts and heads bowed low
We struggled to stem the tears
As we said our last farewell,
Our minds wandered through the years
Husband …Father…Brother…friend
Each role you played with grace
Ever present by our side to share
The burdens that we’d face
Your grandchildren were your greatest joy
And they returned that love
I know that you’re still guiding them
As you watch them from above
You were a fearless soldier
The Country is in your debt
You earned that stirring gun salute
That we will never forget
So sleep in peace my brother
Lulled by nature’s sounds
Among your fellow warriors
Within Arlington’s hallowed grounds
