In recognition of the service wrought by this brave man,
His service some great medals won, because he took a stand.
When mailed to him in expectation — his own honor to bear,
Someone stole the contents of this very special fare.
So now we’re here — decades removed, yet honor was not gone.
No thief can take away the place where true courage belongs.
A medal is seen in visual sight, yet reveals what’s in the heart.
We honor Dennis here today; a man of valor from the start.
