Description
I captured this memorial in a small town here in Missouri for one of there soldiers that have died. The Statue of the Boots, Gun, Helmet made of steel. Then I put my own little touch to it with some textures and a american flag.This is for all the fallen soldiers. For all wars. Men and women who gave there life. Thank you.......................................................................................................
I saw a soldier kneeling down,
for this was the first quiet place he had found.
He had traveled through jungles, rivers and mud
He'd tasted sweat and shed his blood.
He folded his hands and looked to the sky
I saw his tears, as they welled in his eyes.
He spoke to God, and this is what he said.
"God Bless my men, who now lie dead;
I know not what You have in mind,
but when You judge them, please be kind
when they come before You, they will be poorly dressed
but they'll walk proudly, for they have done their best.
Their boots will be muddy and their clothes all torn
but these clothes they have so proudly worn.
Their hearts will be still and cold inside,
for they have fought their best and did so with pride.
So please take care of them as they pass Your way
the price of freedom they've already paid.
