2: Warrior

All three of the mourners, well into their years now, stood at the open grave over which the coffin hung. On top, a beautiful spray of blue flowers had been laid in the center. Bowing his head, one man said a silent prayer.

While he did this, another walked up and with a bold thrust, stuck a gun barrel-side down into the desert sand.

As he stepped back, a third man came up and with a loving hand, gently lowered something onto the stock of the gun. A fitting tribute to a warrior—his headgear on top of his weapon.
