Battlefield Cross

Helmet on top, rifle stuck in the ground, boots at its base
So much sadness on their faces
Dog tags hang with names of the lost
Dirty boots to show their final walk
Young men who paid to high of cost
Friends kneel before them to say goodbye
So sad to see grown men cry
Battlefield cross shows honor and respect
So their buddies never forget
The cross lets their friends mourn
As "Taps" is played on the horn
"Fallen but not forgotten" some memorials say
Many soldiers live to fight another day
"As my brothers did for me" one tattoo said
One saying I will never get out of my head
Battlefield Cross a symbol no soldier forgets
