Flags at Half Mast for Two Fallen Soldiers in Afghanistan: "Heroes Never Die" - AN ELEGY

HEROES NEVER DIE
an elegy by R.T. Stillwell

"Bravery, Humility-
Fear.
Terror.
Justice and Service-
Cowardice and...

Humiliation

Some never die,
Some die 1,000 deaths
Some stand tall in
the light
Some slink about in the mire
Throwing potshots at
all that remains...

A coward dies a thousand deaths,
A SOLDIER DIES BUT ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE ONE!!!

And some,
as these two heroes above
in the heavens
now
and eternally
having coffee with the angels
and communicating silently with
the Messiah
Fight
now...
and forever-
Heroes Never Die"
