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
