Our Many Military Memories
Our Many Military Memories
Many military memories were made,
And into past, none of them will fade,
Lasting forever which was day by day;
Even after they have passed away.
Things occurred each year after year,
In an awesome, mighty military career;
Helicopter blades did swirl and swirl
That would make all of our hair curl.
Bodies on battlefield badly bleeding;
Others an entire platoon were leading;
Soldier was a clerk typing up an order;
We were here at home being supporter.
Soldiers and sailors soon sailed out to sea;
In newspapers and books had made history;
Coast appeared with shells and soft sand
On a lonely beach head did have to land.
We would see headstones of dead on a Field,
Said prayers at church service as we kneeled;
We will fervently worship each and everyone;
Thank God for the things that He has done.
