I said as the IED blew my friend
into bits and pieces of singed hair
and flesh!
Know what I mean, man?
He was my Hamlet
and I was his Horace,
loyal companion!
He was a staff sergeant
and I was a tech 4
a specialist in
demolitions!
We talked and fought
our way through Iraq
and Afghanistan!
Put a ring about this, mate!
