Done with the battles, done with the strift. For your dear country you gave your young life. Though your loved face no more we shall see We gaze at the gold star and think deeply of thee. Although from the ranks of your regiment you are gone, You are with God and your soul marches on, Who gave his life for his friends does well, That love no man can tell. --One who loved him. ----------------------------------------------------------------- "Oracle" - March 2, 1985 BONNIE E.
