LOYAL ORDER OF THE VIETNAM GRUNT
Certificate Of Recognition
Of the Brotherhood of the Vietnam Grunt
HE IS ONE
...who forged through the monsoon
soaked jungles of Vietnam;
who survived the land of Snake and Tiger,
living on Tiger's piss and C-Rations;
...who so bravely charged up mountains,
down valleys, into tunnels and through rice paddies,
all the while dodging bullets and buffalo horns;
...who so gallantly slept in holes
using claymore mines for pillows
and barbed wire for blankets;
...who lived under the skies of Puff-The-Magic-Dragon
who rained fire down on the heads of Ho Chi Minh's
finest Viet Cong forces.
HERE'S TO HE
...who was able to improvise, overcome
and adapt
to the hostile environment and scorching heat;
...who, despite all adversity, was still able to piss
fire
and carry on the fine tradition as
Guardians of Freedom
for the
United States of America
Well Done
Ye True and Faithful Grunt
SEMPER FIDELIS AND WELCOME HOME
