America called come take your stand <br />For love of country our beautiful land So very young with nerves of steel <br />The fiery battle does not conceal Terrifying moments, no quarter asked <br />Bloody confrontations a gallant task Hostile fire all through the night <br />Upon this earth my lastly fight Oh! Pray lord peace of mind <br />Instant death and left behind Shadowed crosses as the sun goes down <br />My resting plot of grassy ground God shed his love upon this place <br />Monument for the brave and any race History read they served well <br />In all the wars where buddies fell Remember this they gave their best <br />They died for you and lay at rest<br /><br />Jack A.
