Lions welcome those who come
 To say their good byes 

Rows of letters on the wall are guarded by
Patches, poems, pictures, roses and pain 

Family and friends stand by the names
Shedding one more tear 

Candle lights flicker,
As the light is passed from friend to friend 

Gray, brown, blue and green blend together
To form the Roll Call of Fallen Heroes 

Honor Guard members keep watch on the
Yellow Badge for the many
One is too many 

Bag pipers, drummers, drum majors, and flag bearers
Pipe in Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound 

Speakers praise those that serve, those that care
Those that gave the ultimate sacrifice 

One by one names are read one flower
For each, escorted by their own 

Family members walking to the wreath
Each flower forming the Badge 

Back to the lions, to reflect one more time
On the Thin Blue Line 

Silence and Respect ushers in
The Healing powers of the Wall 

Remembering those friends that have
Gone before us and the new friends we have met
