Of Eagle Feathers And Flags
Young brave...
in honor...
you now sleep
The price of freedom
has never been cheap
You who give all
have friends and family
who are left here to weep
and were given the flag
draping your coffin to keep
An eagle feather goes with you
It has been well earned
Honors far beyond that
for which you yearned
Greet your ancestors up above
surrounded with locks of love
...cut off with a sigh
and tucked in your casket
...gifts of goodbye
to a Native American Marine...so true
who died for the Red...White And Blue...
For Cpl. Brett Lundstrom, USMC
