The Last Deployment

Salutes from the open sky, where angels fly high

A hero's story told in the whisper of the wind

A testament to courage, to nation, to kin

But even heroes fall, when the dark begins

Tall as a mountain, seven-five, unmatched in stride

Marine of the legends, with honor deep inside

He took the oath, heart pure, a servant's pride

Living by the code, with his family by his side

Went into the zone, brave through every storm

Risked it all for the land, a uniform worn

Fought through the fallout, through the unseen war

Now he’s called to rest, forevermore

Rest in peace, brave soul, you’ve fought the good fight

Your legacy shines like stars in the night

From the mountains high to the oceans wide

Your name lives on, forever in pride

Radiation’s shadow cast a heavy toll

But your spirit’s bright, unbreakable soul

Your family’s tears, a love they hold

In their hearts, your story’s told

Goodbye, hero, your watch is done

In our memories, you’ll live on

The hero’s journey now is gone

Rest in peace till dawn’s first dawn
