Many sunsets ago I stood upon
the grounds, as the sounds of
reveille rushed through my veins.
Erect and still; the wind crackled
through my hair as reveries
danced through my mind.
I wondered, what will the future
be like? Who will the heroes be
when the history of this era is
written?
My mind receded to the dry
parched earth of the Rio Grande,
where we patrolled over the cacti
and mesquite, then faded to the
Sierra Bonitas and the Western
Plains.
Through the telescope of time I
saw the future battles; The
Spanish-American War, WWI,
WWII, and Korea.
Then I wondered, When the final
pages of history are written, will
they remeber me? Will they
remember my dedication and
valor?
