this was written during WWII

Rest my buddy, sleep in peace
Let not your mind hold idle pain, or fear of battle, or that you may have died in vain

No my buddy, sleep in peace
Your were one of the best

You fought by my side buddy, through each rough and terrible strife
Until at dusk one evening
A sniper's bullet took your life

I grabbed you buddy when you fell by my side
I cried when I knew you were dead

But we'll meet again in Heaven buddy
Where no farewell tears are shed.

I don't think this is all of it, cuz it is only a memory, but I wonder if that is going on today in Iraq?
