Poetic Obituaries: The poem [by Lance Cpl. Ryan McCaughn]

is called "Soldier," and its seven verses are based on the words pride, courage, protect, war, peace and sacrifice. The second verse reads:

Many soldiers have had to experience the ultimate sacrifice
Even in death a soldier will show pride
All you can do is hope that they finally found peace
People have to replace the fallen and show courage
And fight so that their children do not know war
After all one of the goals of a soldier is to protect.

from Concord Monitor: 19-year-old Marine killed in Iraq
