Kenneth MacKenzie

Rest easy now soldier time to lay down your gun, The battle is won.

Surely named a hero by many it is true. Uniform is never disguarded, so proudly, worn, Air Force blue.

You’ve been so strong, valiant and brave defending family and homeland, Always eager to save.

Sleep easy now Dad and let your halo shine. Spread your wings Dad, you will always be the wind beneath me.
