An American Hero

The sounds of war are quiet now, A hilltop has been bought, Can those at home know what they feared, How fiercely they have fought? Continue on, U.S. Marines, Reload, regroup, renew, Death is silent, always near, To those, “The Brave, The Few.” ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Rest in Peace, dear Hero. (excerpt by Earl Carson, 1992)

Never Forgotten

ALWAYS REMEMBERED

Slip off that pack. Set it down by the crooked trail. Drop your steel pot alongside. Shed those magazine-ladened bandoliers away from your sweat-soaked shirt. Lay that silent weapon down and step out of the heat. Feel the soothing cool breeze right down to your soul....and rest forever in the shade of our love, brother.

From all your "Band of Nam Brothers"
