When he turned 18,
In some ways he was still a boy,
but he was also a newly minted man
Answering Uncle Sam’s command,
He was shipped off to a foreign land
His uniform & boots were soon covered
in blood,sweat & sand
He felt it was a noble calling to serve his country
so he took that stand…
War changed him in a way some people will never
understand, but he’s glad his brother soldiers can
They were truly a band of heroes
