I  never  dreamed it would be  me, My  name  for  all  eternity, Recorded here  at  this hallowed place Alas, my name, no more  my  face. "In  the  line of duty, " I hear them  say: My  family  now  the  price  to  pay. My folded flag  stained with  their  tears; We  only had those  few  short  years. The  badge  no longer  on  my chest, I  sleep now in  eternal  rest. My  sword  I  pass to those  behind, And  pray  they  keep  this  thought  in  mind. I  never  dreamed  it  would be  me, And with  heavy  heart  and  bended  knee, I  ask  for  all  here  from  the  past: Dear God, let my  name  be  the  last.
