Will they remeber?


Sent away A plane ride into the land unknown A new land with people that don’t look like you, don’t talk like you , don’t act like you On a bus into the jungle Borw wet with sticky sweat Heart full of fear and ambition Holding your post through that night Never knowing whats around the next corner Anxiety fills the hearts of all around you Is fighting for my country really worth Missing my family and risking my life? The answert is always yes Seeing a hole in a man Seeing the piles of dog tags of fallen soldiers Thinking of the families that will receive a telegram Saying there loved one is gone You hear the boom You see the blood You made the ultimate sacrifice for the country you love Will everyone forget?
