I slowly lower my head as the tears flow down my cheeks. For a minute I allow the feelings to wash over me. The fallen are worthy. I lift my head and look at the flag draped coffin. I square my shoulders and become more determined to honor the memory of those who sacrificied all, that all may live free. The fallen are worthy." |
