A Soldiers Last Taps

A Soldiers Last Taps Steve L. Siegel July, 2015 ~:~ Yesterday as I walked among long rows of crosses To where a soldier was being put to rest I heard twin sounds of bugles playing taps We all stood with heads bent low in prayer ~:~ It brought back thoughts of my fallen buddies I had known such a long time ago They came from across this fertile land of ours From the cities and the farmlands. ~:~ I feel a little guilty at times my sacrifice was small I lost only but a little of my time But some of these men lost their all They kept the faith, and fought the fight. ~;~ Through the delta to jungles of I-Drang up to Kay San We fought the fight and gave our lives for freedom sake Earning our last reward to God and Country For that’s job of your Soldiers and Veterans... ~+~ P.S. On this picture I took it Near Port Angles WA. It had been raining most the day and just before sunset This is what I got. I had this picture in my file for a long time Just never seened like it fit in until now. NO PICRURE HERE IT WON"T LET ME PUT IT ON
