Then beat the drums slowly, play the
fifes lowly,
Sound the death march as you carry me along,
And fire your muskets right over my coffin,
For I'm a young soldier cut down in his prime.
("The Soldier Cut Down in
His Prime," an old Irish Ballad)

Real heroes
don't wear capes. They wear dog tags!
Our flag does not fly because the wind blows it,
it flies with the last breath of each soldier who died protecting it.

an obituary for Wayne
Wayne had been assigned to the 1/83rd until the
unit stood down. Since he still had three months remaining on his tour he went
to another M110 unit, "B" Battery 1/39 where he was killed on June 25,
1971 when his convoy was attacked. |
