Jason was an argonaut
Endlessly sailed
The seven seas
Jason the aeronautic
Endlessly toured
Afghanistan & Iraq
Request for relief
Tour of duties fulfilled
Denied – Defy not
Today I see him
Face to face
Clutching his coffin flag
Tuesday at dusk
Narrow back street
Sniper hit his mark
My veil of tears
Too salty & bitter
Into the dust of Arlington
