Anonymous Letter Left at the Tomb
of the Unknown
Soldier
of the Unknown Soldier
Upon this day of
poignant reflection, we are humbled by your sacrifice;
No measure of
recompense doth any possess which may serve to satisfice-
Our very liberty hath
been your precious gift-your dutiful life, its price-
Our humble gratitude
is all we have, no manner of quittance would suffice!
Our Forefathers
advented Liberty, yet your loss saw to its abiding;
Countless men and
women still, much like you, cease its subsiding;
Your life of honor
and duty, for country-this shall ne'er perish-
In our hearts and
minds, upon this day and all others, we cherish
Every solitary
liberate moment, which you have given and ensured;
The most selfless sacrifice-your
safeguard guaranteed Liberty endured!
I can not say and I
will not say that he is dead - He is just away!
You live still; Your
dutiful life inspires men and women to this very day;
The obligation owed
to you is immeasurable-words may ne'er convey
Our gratitude for
your service and sacrifice-though we endeavor all we may!
