A solemn duty, a tribute too
An undertaking we’re proud to do
We hate to see our comrades pass
So thank them now, lift up a glass
What they have given we can’t repay
So we honor them on this solemn day

They’re laid to rest with honor and pride
For their family and country so many have died

Some have paid the ultimate price
They gave us all freedom with their sacrifice
We choose to honor these vets at the last
We want to give thanks for their service past
The special words, the twenty- one gun salute
And TAPS, the moving and final tribute

So rest in peace you gallant few
Who did what your country asked of you!

REST EASY, COMRADES
