In loving memory of our beloved son, brother and uncle, Sgt. Carl J. Morgain.

KIA — Tikrit, Iraq

I was that which others did not want to be.

I went where others feared to go,

And did what others failed to do.

I asked nothing from those who gave nothing,

I have seen the face of terror;

Felt the stinging cold of fear;

And enjoyed the sweet taste of a moments love.

I have cried, pained, and hoped... but most of all,

I have lived times others would say were best forgotten

I am able to say that I was proud of what I was

A SOLDIER

Until we meet again

May God hold you in the palm of His hand.
