The Soldier's Last Tattoo by Theodore O’Hara The muffled drum’s sad roll has beat The soldier’s last tattoo; No more on life’s parade shall meet The brave and fallen few. On fame’s eternal camping-ground Their silent tents are spread, And glory guards, with solemn round The bivouac of the dead. As long as there are soldiers, veterans, comrades, friends and family, you will always be rembered. My thought and prayers with you, your family, fiancé and extended family. Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam. R.I.P.
