You stated your name...the day you stood tall,
To proudly serve our country...to serve us all.
Knowing that you could fall…

Now, your name is on a memorial wall.
A brother in arms who stood in harms way,
Here is where these brave men now lay.
In a small cemetery...in a huge city...you can see…
Where these members lie of the final firefight fraternity.
One is very dear to me, but all four have clearly...
Given up their earthly destiny.
They gave up what their future could be,
I am grateful to them...and now I truly see,
That the price for freedom is not free. (*)
How many years before I see you again?
My son, my brother, and my friend.
I will shake your hand...with respect then…

And thank you for fighting unto the end.
You are my hero...each and everyone,
You trained real hard to carry a gun.
You died in service to us...now it's done…
You stood and fought...you didn't run.
The earth is quiet here...Yet, a plane goes overhead…
I look around at the ground...A part of me is also dead.
But, I want to think of you instead…
For each and every one of you...I dread,
That not enough thanks will ever be said.
You’re going to stand with your brothers…the way it must be?

For Call of Duty…You went to serve in the U.S.M.C.

You volunteered and served so…admirably.
I am so sorry...I wish it had been the older one...me.

Now…we must stand with you…and must agree…
For now...that has become the way it must be!

I will never forget you…and the Final Firefight Fraternity.
