Memorial Day Follow Up

Then there are those who never came back, 
As much time flies by and we will loose track; 
My age has lengthened and up I have grown, 
Still see tomb of soldiers who are unknown. 

By other veterans, they loyally would bequeath, 
With honor, in front of their tomb place a wreath,
And now each time when it we all do pass by, 
Will always remember those who for us did die.

James Serious Mysterious Horn
Retired Veteran and Poet
Also, son whose dad was
killed on Carrier Intrepid
on active duty.
