Wow, that hit me hard. My wife's nephew died last year after a
helicopter accident in Iraq, while in the Marines. I only met him once,
when he was about 12 or so and he was in his early 20s when he died.

I'll never forget the services at Arlington, it was spine chilling to
say the least.

(For non-US readers, today is Memorial Day in the USA, a national
holiday.  Traditionally celebrated as the unofficial start to summer,
with cookouts and the like.)

For those enjoying the Memorial Day holiday, please also remember
those who have given their lives fighting for their country.

"You Never Knew Me"
by J.D. "Illiad" Frazer
(http://ars.userfriendly.org/users/read.cgi?id=20&tid=129418)

You never knew me
as you grew up on that farm
watched the clouds roll by
dreamed of life and love.

You never knew me
when you swore to fight
and kissed your last goodbye
to those who waved and cried.

You never knew me
when they stormed in,
shards of dark metal
quivering as they cut.

You never knew me
as you huddled in the grime
cold and so alone
wishing for the sun.

You never knew me
baker that you were
carpenter or farmer
not a soldier born.

You never knew me
but you cried out for freedom
and defied the coming dark
even as you fell.

And as I kneel by your cross
I realize that I never knew you
but I know you did this for me
even though you never knew me.
