16 Jan 2005 REMEMBERED ACROSS THE YEARS by a researcher, Mark Sullivan msullivan364@hotmail.com

 

26 Dec 2005 21 GUN SALUTE I stand there at attention As I see them walking by. I look upon Old Glory, And I feel the urge to cry. I see the men standing there Their weapons by their sides. I see their stern expressions And the sorrow in their eyes. I see all the families As they join us here this day. We bow our heads in respect And silently we pray. Our moods are very somber Not a smile can be found. The silence lies heavily Until the bugle sounds. The flag is carefully folded And handed to his wife. I see his daughter crying Because he had lost his life. Twenty-one shots are fired, As they have always done before, To salute another man Who gave his life in war. I feel the tears upon my cheeks And the tightness in my chest As I watch a fellow ARMY man Finally laid to rest. This is for my brother, Pvt Albert Cleveland, 919th Engr, 11th Cavalry, killed in action on 04-17-67 and all the brave men and women who have given their lives for our country. Please support our military whether you agree with war or not. Remember they are doing their JOB for us. Take time to say "Thank you" if you see someone in uniform. May God bless them all and their families. From his sister, Lillie Cleveland Jarrett 1263 Shady Trail, Wetumpka, Al. 36092 lljarrett11@aol.com
