One More Hero Gone
One man, continued service,
Served his country well.
America sheds another tear.
One man dedicated to country,
Special Forces, Sergeant Major
Fourth tour served, Iraqi front.
Mother’s heart broken,
Never more filled with pride,
“Pride in accomplishment.”
Father served for better world,
Children to live in peace;
One boy, two girls; left behind.
Paraphrase of lover’s words,
Believed in mission duty,
“He did not die in vain.”
