...and the soldiers go marching

Memorial Day at Fort Riley

...and soldiers are marching,
Marching,
Faces to the grandstand,
On a windy day.

Marching, marching as 
A Shining Brass Band
Officiates.

The humble and brave
Pass by.
The pompous linger at edges,
Fading away.

 But the Proud
who served selflessly, 
Salute
The parade of young military

Marching...

Marching into
The soup that is past, present,and future 
History.

And the men are marching...

per Wikipedia

And the men are marching,
Marching,
Faces to the grandstand,
On a windy day.

Marching, marching as 
the Shining Brass Band
Officiates.

The humble and the brave
Pass
The pompous and the proud.

Marching into
The soup of history.
