A Comrade’s Welcome

A comrade’s welcome he’ll receive
It’s what he earned that day
When he stood up tall for freedom
As chaos came his way
He did not run or try to hide
His duty he knew so well
Help the ones who could not fight
Protect a child from hell
The ground exploding all around
Bullets went whizzing by
He kept his calm while others ran
But inside he wanted to cry
No he never quit the battle
Ignoring the blood and pain
He held his post and did not give
Naught did the enemy gain
Now we line up here in welcome
His place here duly won
To spend the nights telling stories
With us here in Arlington

Courage under fire is something far beyond admirable. It inspires the strong and the meek alike. Nice write!

What a moving tribute to those that serve! The sacrifice, duly noted by this reader, is painfully real. What honor there is here - and in countless places where the brave have battled their way through the chaos.
Well done!
