Inscription.
Under the white stone markers, are the remains of a relative or friend.
In Gettysburg, they stand row after row and seem to have no end.
When the nation was in danger, they answered the call to arms.
They came from cities, villages, factories, and farms.
They were physically trained to handle a gun.
Their love for their country would not let them run.
In face of disaster, they gave their best,
they heard the Lord's call,
"Come unto me, I will give thee rest."
By A.J. Klein
