Flight of the Fallen Marine

Turning wheels on tarmac, black sky in the back

Honors in the air, silence cuts like a blade

Tonight we remember, under starry eyes

A hero's farewell, in the solemn skies

He soared beyond the clouds, sworn to serve and defend

A Marine with a heart of gold, on him we depend

Twenty-four years of sacrifice, a life laid on the line

Studying shadows of a blast, fighting through the signs

For family, for country, he stood tall despite the fade

In the face of danger, knowing the risk he had made

Radiation’s silent threat, a cancer that grew slow

But his courage never flickered, in the storms he would go

Fly high, brave warrior, with the flag in your sight

In the skies you’re free now, shining in the night

For the fallen, for the fearless, for the ones who gave all

Your legacy’s forever, answering the patriotic call

Even when shadows darken, and the world’s in its fight

His spirit’s still with us, burning bright

A silent prayer echoes, as the jets salute above

A Marine’s true honor, in the stars they speak of

Now the plane’s in silence, but his story remains

In the winds and the memories, through joy and pain

We remember your valor, your courage, your fight

Rest in peace, brave hero, fade into the night
