A Time Capsule for our Noblest Soldier

 

“In war I do not like to take sides”

 

-Sergeant Schultz

 

If there must be time capsules buried beneath

Statues of bold men wearing uniforms

As a remembrance of man’s noblest ideals

Let us have one for dear ol’ Sergeant Schultz

 

A recipe for Hans' apple strudel

A bottle of his favorite Pilsner beer

A Cuban cigar from Colonel Klink’s stash

And a menu from the Hofbrau House

 

But especially the strudel

 

If we must honor soldiers, as some assert

Then let us include their favorite dessert
