Honor Bound:

 

We stood guard over them

As they laid there still

Dew formed on the poncho’s

From the evening chill

 

Some of us prayed

While some walked on by

Others solemnly stared

While some men cried

 

It was not easy to be a man

When we were so young

To deal with so much death

Under the Vietnam sun

 

Yet here lay our brothers

Some mother’s son

Ashen and pale

Their war is done

 

They fought hard in the battle

Their precious life’s blood they gave

Fought for freedom with honor

To preserve the American way

 

We will watch over them with pride

Until they are air lifted away

If war comes to visit

There will be hell to pay

 

These gallant Men of honor

Will never be left alone

Come hell or high water

We’ll see they get home

 

Semper Fidelis ?

Hail the Red White And Blue 

We will honor our country

As long as they honor you…

 

Boon….

A different Remembrance
