Olive Drab
Wearing this green
Symbolizes strength
Unity
Conformity
Wearing this green
Requires an understanding
Of death, of war, of life
Wearing this green
This olive drab
Now caked with dirt and sweat and adrenalin
Means watching his 6, while he scopes out our 12
Wearing this green
Means deployment
duty & sacrifice
Leaving my old Self behind to fight their battles
Maybe in vain, even meaningless
But maybe in acceptance of the never ending nature
Of human kind
**Dedicated to Vietnam Vets and everyone who has served or is still serving**
