Faces of War

[3_7_I_Recon]

Etched in an old soldier's memory,

Are the faces of comrades he knew.

Faces reflecting the terror and suffering,

The exhaustion of endless battles,

And the Courage to see them through.

 

Those long gone faces

Haunt the old soldiers memory.

And yet they sustain him too,

They're reminders of the price of freedom

To we the remaining few.
