Die In Vain

Die in Vain Between two decisions had been torn Should I only be infantry or add on airborne? And end up becoming more excited According to my orders, I am invited. In Army never learned to have lied Thinking about all those who died Leading honorable lives which were fine Compared to yours as well as mine. Seventy years into time, just went on a journey Ended up in wild watery waves near Normandy Slowly we all approached the shore And fought an enemy who we abhor. War will be hell so I have heard Which seems to be the single word That describes all of my anxiety Trying to set many others free. With grace of God, I was able to survive And on His great earth remain alive But want to make this pure and plain We should never let them die in vain. James Thomas Horn Retired Veteran PS.
