Thank you Marine for your dedication and service to this great Nation and to our Corps: Apr 30, 2012


THE WALL Standing here in front of the Wall silently reading your name solemnly I thank you one and all Each of you different, yet the same The list seems forever endless but I remember your faces you made the supreme sacrifice, I confess as I walk slowly with measured paces Each one of you answered the call willingly or not, you gave your lives Rest easy, my Brothers - heroes all The Nation still survives "War drew us from our homeland In the sunlit springtime of our youth. Those who did not come back alive remain in perpetual springtime -- forever young -- And a part of them is with us always." --- Author Unknown --- God Bless You

THE WALL

Standing here in front of the Wall silently reading your name solemnly I thank you one and all Each of you different, yet the same

The list seems forever endless but I remember your faces you made the supreme sacrifice, I confess as I walk slowly with measured paces

Each one of you answered the call willingly or not, you gave your lives Rest easy, my Brothers - heroes all The Nation still survives

"War drew us from our homeland

In the sunlit springtime of our youth.

Those who did not come back alive remain

in perpetual springtime -- forever young --

And a part of them is with us always."

--- Author Unknown ---

God Bless You

Standing here in front of the Wall
silently reading your name
solemnly I thank you one and all
Each of you different, yet the same

The list seems forever endless
but I remember your faces
you made the supreme sacrifice, I confess
as I walk slowly with measured paces

Each one of you answered the call
willingly or not, you gave your lives
Rest easy, my Brothers - heroes all
The Nation still survives
