LEST WE FORGET THEM

LEST WE FORGET THEM

Remember me for I have remembered you.
When I layed behind the fence at Gettysburg
And the mini ball found its target true.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
As I bled in the ditches of France.
And the bi-planes over me flew.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
While I crawled along the beaches of Normandy
The enemy I did wearily pursue.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
Through the jungles of Korea I moved silently.
Doing what my country had asked me to do.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
In country I gave all for my nation.
The nam claimed my body and mind too.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
The deserts I stormed without question.
While the threat of scud missiles grew.

Remember me for I have remembered you.
Road bombs ripped my humvee beneath me
My duty to God and country I pursue.

Remember me for I will remember you.
Your freedom I secured with my blood.
Remember I went so you wouldn’t have to.
