The faithful Marine,
Who died in the war.

Who gave his life
To save his platoon.

His men took his body,

With great care,

Back to the US.
His family waiting there.

All his childhood friends,
Who thought he was lame,

See the Medal of Honor


Engraved with his name.

I wrote this originally as an English assignment, but apparently everyone loves it. One of my friends said that it was the best poem he's ever read. My English teacher thinks it's amazing, too.
