</>Fallen warriors, gone too soon: <br />The best, the brave—bold and bright. <br />Like a comet thrust from the skies <br />On a late-summertime night. <br />Men who'd taken up the cause— <br />Giving no less than their all. <br />Thirty-one brilliant, eager minds <br />For whom we silently pause. <br /> <br />In behalf of the motherland, <br />They've paid the ultimate price. <br />We acknowledge now their families <br />In memories of their sacrifice. <br />And of their story, time will tell. <br />For they shall be remembered well.<br /><br />Walterrean Salley<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-fallen-soldiers-sonnet/
