To
my Walking Dead Marines:
To the world, too
many of you are long ago dead and unknown.
When, year after endless
year, a night or day did not pass
Without us bleeding
together in my thoughts and dreams,
I prayed for your
memory to go to the grave with you.
You are my brothers
in life and in death.
Our yesterdays are
my today's and tomorrow's.
I now welcome your
daily visits to my mind.
I will always include
you, my brothers...
I will never allow
your screams to be silenced.
I will never allow
your blood to be washed away.
I am with you.
You will never be left behind
Semper Fidelis,
"Doc" Richard Oulton |
