Today all sit and wait again
For orders to move on and end
This stand down that we now are in
As each reflect this moment dim
Where if we don't return back home
From this land that's not our own
We'd want you to remember when
This life we shared family and friends
Just think of all the good times had
Laughter, parties, the best not bad
We shared and bared that had no end
Your love we keep and ours we send
Kept close all that you gave to me
Your son, daughter fought valiantly
For in our passing we will take
All you we knew with no heartbreak
Written to express a priceless debt of gratitude
to all those who served in Iraq and gave their
lives. May God console their families
and bring them peace knowing they are
now his fold.
