I had the distinct honor and privilege to know and have "Monte" as a friend and brother-in-arms for the better part of 20 years. No matter the situation, he always had a smile and a warm handshake. As the Mess Steward he took alot of flack about the meals that were served, but he always managed to make the best of it. It wasn't always like Mama used to make, but it was always hot and tasty no matter where we were. My deepest condolences to to the Montalbano family and for Monte, I'll see you at Fiddlers' Green. Fiddlers' Green Halfway down the trail to Hell, In a shady meadow green Are the Souls of all dead Troopers camped, Near a good old-time canteen. And this eternal resting place Is known as Fiddlers’ Green. Marching past, straight through to Hell The Infantry are seen. Accompanied by the Engineers, Artillery and Marines, For none but the shades of Cavalrymen Dismount at Fiddlers’ Green. Though some go curving down the trail To seek a warmer scene. No Trooper ever gets to Hell Ere he’s emptied his canteen. And so rides back to drink again With friends at Fiddlers’ Green. And so when man and horse go down Beneath a saber keen, Or in a roaring charge of fierce melee You stop a bullet clean, And the hostiles come to get your scalp, Just empty your canteen, And put your pistol to your head And go to Fiddlers’ Green.
