I Miss You My Soldier {Epitaph}

by holly   Jul 20, 2006


My courageous soldier, without hesitation

fought to his death, all for his nation

believing that lie,that fake story

Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

```````````````````````````````````
An epitaph is a brief poem consisting of four
lines inscribed on a tombstone praising a
deceased person, usually with rhyming lines.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country ((taken from a wilfred owen poem))
