We Placed a Perfect Wreath

We Placed A Perfect Wreath

On unknown soldier tomb we placed wreath,
Body remains are buried below and beneath;
That we respect,
In manner correct;
All that was left are broken bones and teeth.

Exactly my feelings. My dad was killed on active duty on Carrier Intrepid in New York Harbor. His name Arthur F. Horn is on the wall of it.
