REMEMBER I Remember it well the day they fell on a sweep in Vietnam out of nowhere it came bullets hit like rain as we dug in for our very lives under attack, no turning back the air was filled with cries those who were left were surrounded with death and we searched the trees with vacant eyes we got up and charged four at a time then three, then two had survived I remember them well and I always will they gave their lives for mine some say, Memorial day means Bar-B-Ques and hot apple pie But for those on the wall It means nothing at all If we fail to remember without tears in our eyes.... Instead of hoisting a beer send up a cheer OOH-Rahhh! a job well done Here's to the men on the wall who gave us their all So we could have one more day in the sun... Richard D. Preston |
