You showed me a picture of your son
and his two friends,
all soldiers involved in a foreign
war,
their faces were pressed against each
other
as they posed for the camera.
From their smiles it is easy to
imagine their friendship
how your house filled with laughter and rough housing,
your grocery bill higher than
normal.
Their bond built from days in the
battle zone
in extreme conditions where they
built trust
and a lasting friendship, torn apart
by enemy gunfire.
One of the three dead, now buried in
Utah
what a waste of life and human
potential
a sacrifice made for the American people.
All the tears shed does not stop the
dread
when your son and his friend sign-up
for another
tour of duty in their need
to continue the fight for freedom.
May you rest in Peace Chris.
