By Old Friend,

I did not the write this and it's just a simple cadence from the Army but the wife of a dear friend that I served in the Army with called me yesterday to tell me he died of Alcoholism. In Memory of Sgt Joshua Smith 1st Battalion 75th Inf. C-130 rolling down the strip !! Airborne Ranger gonna take a little trip !! Stand Up! Hook Up ! Shuffle to the door !! Jump Right out and Count to 4 !! If my chute don't open wide !! I got another one by my side !! If that one should fail me too !! Look out Hell !! I am coming through. !! The End. . It isn't much but its' from the heart. We use to say, it wasn't for the money, or the fame, or for our Country, it was for the guy next to you
