RavenFE Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 FINAL ROLL CALL By: Carroll R. Michaud Did you hear the sad news today? Another veteran warrior has passed away. Called by the Supreme Commander over all. Today he has made his final roll call. Come fellow vets; let us reverently bow and pray For our valiant comrade, who has fallen this day. We'll drape his casket with a banner of beautiful hues, Those glorious American colors: red, white and blue. That star spangled banner he gallantly fought to defend, Unyielding and undaunted, he fought to win. He fought bravely and he passed the battle test. Now the Supreme Commander grants him, "eternal rest". With dignity and honor, we'll commit his body to the ground, The bugler will sound "Taps" and we'll fire the volley rounds. The final military honors we'll render somberly and ever so sadly; "Old Glory" we'll solemnly precisely fold and reverently give to his family. Each Memorial Day we will recall our fallen comrade names, And attest that their selfless sacrifices were not in vain; For this lasting legacy they gave to all generations; "It's honorable to respect our flag and to defend our great nation." So close ranks aging warriors, for our ranks are thinning. We must keep on fighting and keep on winning. With pride and honor we'll march and stand tall, And we'll proudly - proudly - salute "Old Glory" Rest in Peace my Brother Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1685FCC Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 Wow! I saw Max a couple months ago at Cancuns in Jacksonville and he looked happy and healthy. I had him as an instructor for IQT and enjoyed his teaching immensly. I always looked forward to going to class each morning. RIP Max!!
