For eighteen months, brave PFC Stear
Has stood his ground without a trace of fear.
In battles fought with honor held so near,
He marched with pride, the path ahead made clear.The thunders roared, yet still he would not veer,
With squadmates close and purpose ever sheer.
Through wind and war, he kept his duty dear,
A steadfast soul, the heart of 29th gear.We raise our hands and voices now to cheer
The strength and will that brought young Stear to here.
A soldier true, whose memory we revere,
His name will ring in stories year to year.Congratulations on your 3rd AOCC, PFC! Here’s to many more!
