A Hero’s Welcome

 Time to come home dear brother, your tour of duty through
You’ve given as much as anyone could be expected to do.
Just a few steps further, the clouds will start to clear,
others here will guide you; you have no need to fear.
 You have not failed your brothers, you clearly gave it your all,
and through your selfless action’s others will hear the call.
So, take your place of honor, among those who have gone before,
and know you will be remembered for now and evermore. - Robert Longley
