honoring you....
Great sadness fills our hearts today
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.
A comrade’s fallen by the way,
And now we say goodbye.
This hero to the very end
Was more than just a casual friend,
Who would a stranger’s life defend,
And now we say goodbye
But we shall cherish, all our days,
The character this life portrayed
With sacrifice so freely made,
And now we say goodbye.
The hand salute, o’er Stars and Stripes,
And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.
While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.
As pipes and drums, in slow march play.

And now we say goodbye.

And distant skirl of highland pipes,
Bid last farewell with hero’s rights,
And now we say goodbye.
While here on Earth, you gave your best.
Now in the Master’s arms you rest.
T’is by your memory we are blessed.
And now we say goodbye.

A long ago friendship
There are several friends of my father on The Wall. But Young was the best!
My father said Young was very intelligent and a dedicated soldier!!
We called his wife Mettie, my mother couldn’t pronounce her Japanese name!! I remember her calling my mother about Young when we lived at Ft Bragg! We went to their house immediately!! I remember Jesse, Stevie and baby Donald too!!! My father’s name is not on The Wall. He served in Vietnam in 1966 and came home safely. I’m very proud of my father and the soldiers he knew that made the sacrifices for us!!
