A Soldier’s Poems honoring David A. Christian and Recon

By Lt. James R. Castleberry, Camp Zama, Japan – 30 November 1968

Young warrior, many colored feathers of honor, On your war bonnet, Do not walk, Stride, Among your contemporaries, Do not be bitter of others, Who do not match up . . . , You have won over the miles, Yours is honor .  .  .  forever, Carry it well, And forever be David.
