(Title?)

We have only died in vain if you believe so;
You must decide the wisdom of our choice,
By the world which you shall build upon our headstones,
And the everlasting truths which have your voice.

Though dead, we are not heroes yet, nor can be,
'Til the living by their lives which are the tools,
Carve us the epitaph of wise men,
And give us not the epitaph of fools.

David J. Phillips, 506th P.I.Regt.
