Hey Rocky. Well another year passes by. I'm so grateful for the time I've had. I morn your loss even today so many years later. God Bless you and keep you close to his bosom. You are remembered, and honored today by a friend and Proud American. This world has lost great expectations in your passing.

I did not have time to build a family, I knew love. Such a wonderful feeling. I did not fulfill all my dreams. I knew brotherhood with my comrades in arms, Unforgettable. I lived rare and hard times, Indescribable. Now, laying at eternal peace I still visualize, ponder,smile and hum my favorite tunes, but no one living can see or hear me. We are now alone and we share in death what united us in life: Love for Freedom. Facing the stars shining in the sky, as I have so often done before, I will offer another prayer for world Peace.

Unselfishly, you left your fathers and your mothers,
You left behind your sisters and your brothers.
Leaving your beloved children and wives,
You put on hold your dreams, your lives.
On foreign soil, you found yourself planted
To fight for those whose freedom you granted.
Without your sacrifice, their cause would be lost
But you carried onward, no matter the cost.
Many horrors you had endured and seen.
Many faces had haunted your dreams.
You cheered as your enemies littered the ground
You cried as your brothers fell all around.
When it was over, you all came back home,
Some were left with memories to face all alone
Some found themselves in the company of friends
As their crosses cast shadows across the land.
Those who survived were forever scarred
Emotionally, physically, permanently marred.
Those who did not, now sleep eternally
Beneath the ground they had given their lives to keep us free.
With a hand upon my heart, I feel
The pride and respect my reverence is revealed
In the tears that now stream down my upturned face
As our flag waves above you, in her glory and grace.
Freedom was the gift that you unselfishly gave
Pain and death was the price that you ultimately paid.
Every day, I give my utmost admiration
To those who had fought to defend our nation.

The soldiers do not speak. Nevertheless, they are heard in the still houses: who has not heard them? They have a silence that speaks for them at night and when the clock counts. They say: We are young. We have died. Remember us. They say: We have done what we could but until it is finished it is not done. They say: We have given our lives but until it is finished no one can know what our lives gave. They say: Our deaths are not ours: they are yours they will mean what you make them. They say: Weather our lives and our deaths are for peace and a new hope or for nothing we cannot say: it is you who must say this. They say: We leave you our deaths. Give them their meaning. We were young. they say. We have died. Remember us:
