This is a drabble loosely based on numb3rs designed to remind you that are men behind the statistics. It is loosely inspired by a project that invite families and communities to remember the fallen of the area, and honour them in a lasting way that benefits the community, rather than just adding the to a list of names on a memorial, as often happens, or dismissed by the public

The quotes are taken from The Fallen by Laurence Binyon; which if you haven't heard you should read.

I'm not trying to glorify war, I don't really agree with it myself; I just think it's tragic that those who gave there lives are so easily forgotten by the public


In another world Colby Granger never made it to Quantico, never found his place on Don Eppes' team. He died under a desert sun, his body baked by fire, sealed forever in a closed coffin, buried in hallowed ground; a world away from the streets of L.A. They may have seen his face on the news, another dead soldier, in another war, another name to add to the list of those who gave their lives, another death come to early to another good man.

In this world Dwayne was the end of the Chinese incident, he revealed everything; the petty secrets he sold to Lancer to survive; and for once treason seems to strong a word for a man who ultimately did only what his country asked of him.

A photo was all he took with him, inscribed with the words taken from a poem

"We will remember them"

And we will they think, for they ventured where we would not, completing tasks we would not, following orders that were not their own, offering themselves when we would not; and they died there, under a foreign sun so different from their own.

Each on gave something and lost something, and as he burnt in the cruel playground of war, someone, somewhere, would remember him; and "to his end, he would remain"

Hope you enjoyed it; please tell me what you think

Its up to you to decide if Dwayne is a traitor in this one or whether he was a double agent here
