"In the line of duty," I hear them say: 
My family now the price to pay. 
My folded flag stained with their tears; 
We only had those few short years. 

The badge no longer on my chest, 
I sleep now in eternal rest. 
My sword I pass to those behind, 
And pray they keep this thought in mind. 

I never dreamed it would be me, 
And with heavy heart and bended knee, 
I ask for all here from the past: 
Dear God, let my name be the last.
