Another
warrior Robert Gallagher has left this earth far too soon
A Ranger, Silver
Star, Black Hawk Down too many deads too many wounds
A heart that
would pump all manner of blood to save his fellow troops
At 52 a
heart attack felling a hero in a very special group
Heroes are a
commodity sometimes often too rare
But this man
in his heroism under fire we hope others will share
Sgt.
Gallagher we mourn your loss from a heart attack
How many
soldiers in Black Hawk Down did you bring back?
A wife and
two sons Sean and Patrick who will now a hero miss
Arlington
and a grateful nation your sacrifices we can never dismiss.
A memorial
on all Saints Day seems only fitting and right
For the true
heroes that protect us from the evil forces of the night.
