In Memory of Arthur Frederick Horn

Repost of In Memory of Arthur Frederick Horn Dad Did Die Why was it really meant to be? Dad did die serving his country Me and my family are left alone Each day when the sun had shone. I am still so lonely each night And sad tears off have to fight Never receiving a one last kiss; Him forever will always miss. It is now another Veterans Day again; My dad was one of many mighty men Who for country had given his all And for him one day God did call.

A beautiful tribute, I believe your dad is in heaven grinning from ear to ear, showing this off to his veteran friends.
