honoring you.....
There is a place
Not far from here
Where spirits walk
And heroes live
And honor still resides.
It is a wall
With names inscribed
Of those who served
When they were asked...
The brothers of my youth.
I go there still
To walk and think
About my life,
And what I've done since
And things that might have been.
There is a debt
I can't repay
Too many lives were spent.
And one man's life cannot suffice
To make their deaths worthwhile.
But there is hope
In the memory
Of those we leave behind
Who know the price that freedom brings
Who can carry on in kind.
I send you now
To touch a name
So the vision can be passed
Remember there is honor still
It is for you to see it lasts.
They are not dead
And have a wish
As all old soldiers do
The reflection you see before you now
Is their wish to live in you.

Remembrance from Texas
Private Vrabel's sacrifice for our country lives on in vivid remembrance in our family. My uncle has told the story for decades about how he had just switched point position with Mr. Vrabel when Mr. Vrabel was hit by sniper fire. My uncle has not visited the Wall to touch his name but I hope to take him there soon. He's now 82. RIP and blessings to you and your family. The Lazard Family
