( An “acrostic” poem is one in which each line in each stanza must begin with the corresponding letter of the title )

M-any are they who have fallen
A-nd many are they who’ve died
N-one of them ran or surrendered
Y-et, because of them I’ve cried

M-any are they that haunt me
A-nd in my dreams they come
N-ow I hear them plainly
Y-es, their request to me be done

M-any are they who’ve fallen
A-nd died the warriors death
N-one of them forgotten
Y-es, I remember with each breath

M-any are they I remember
A-nd I shall never forget
N-ow till the time of my passing
Y-ou, my fellow Vets
