Dav

BTK is a club they join it means "below the knee" one of the less horriffic states of being an amputee The price that's paid by many troops on battlefields 'round the globe uniforms of camoflauge become pajamas and a robe They learn a whole new language prosthetics is their word introducing them to a world of things they wish they'd never heard Taking their courage far afield to keep the enemy from our shore losing the bloom of youth and health surrendered up forevermore We should be proud of these disabled Vets they stood willing to give it all now incomplete, missing arms and feet after answering their nation's call
