An American Hero
A man of integrity
A Beacon of light,
The model of courage
That never shied from a fight.
An American Hero
With duty above all,
A lifetime well spent
Answering his country’s call.
Some called him ambitious
Others headstrong,
But one thing is clear
He knew right from wrong.
We fete his fine life
Salute him in death
And know that he fought
To his very last breath.
