Sgt. Carl J. Morgain, September 22, 1964 — May 22, 2005

KIA Khadasia, Iraq

Operation Iraqi Freedom III

Thinking of you on your birthday,

With sadness in our hearts,

For a very special someone,

From whom we had to part.

We never need a special day

To bring you to our mind,

For days without a thought of you,

Are very hard to find.

With a heartache and a tear,

Every day of our lives,

We wish you were here.

We will always seek your guidance and strength to carry us on in this life without you.

Until we meet again,

Happy Birthday, American Soldier!
