Lifer

Listen to poem:
Lifer (For CSM Richard Webb) David J Walker He was a soldier Who knew he beat the odds Yet answering to the gods of the Elysian Field One day he would yield His dog-tags and Turn in his guns And lay down to rest with The rest of his brothers in arms

Those long serving and suffering "lifers" are the backbone of our military and too easily taken for granted. Nice tribute David

Thank you, John. Dick Webb was my Top Sgt and my best friend. I appreciate it
