A tribute to those who gave their all

A Soldier's Measure

by Earl Corp

Father, brother, son,

Laid to rest in Arlington,

They are not alone,

In this Garden of Stone,

Their spirits frozen,

As they lie tucked in tidy rows

Each considered a hero,

But they all know,

Their task was to see,

We all remain free,

For the liberty we treasure,

They gave their last full measure.
