I Miss You My Soldier {Epitaph}

by holly   Jul 20, 2006


My courageous soldier, without hesitation

fought to his death, all for his nation

believing that lie,that fake story

Dulce et decorum est Pro patria mori.

An epitaph is a brief poem consisting of four
lines inscribed on a tombstone praising a
deceased person, usually with rhyming lines.

Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori - it is sweet and right to die for your country. In other words, it is a wonderful and great honour to fight and die for your country ((taken from a wilfred owen poem))
