In memory of Sgt. Carl J. Morgain

KIA May 22, 2005 Khadasia, Iraq Operation Iraqi Freedom III

America, these soldiers you chose,

are the finest in the land.

And, if you'll pause a moment,

I will share with you my plan.

The message I delivered

to the patrol was very clear,

"This mission goes straight to Heaven,

fear not, for I am near."

"My children I am with you,

this trip is one I've planned,

Yes...this trip is something special,

it's one that God will lead.

Heaven's Great Army

needs some special help up there.

The Commander has now summoned

and is asking us to share."

"You have trained them well, America,

I've observed your every test.

I stood silently and waited,

until you had the best.

"I know them well, America,

these loved ones you have lost,

I selected them some time ago,

forgetting not the cost.

America, my heart has grieved,

by your sorrow, tears and pain, and

Though it's little comfort,

your loss is Heaven's gain."

You will forever be in our hearts.

We will always seek your guidance and

strength to carry us on in this life without you.
