Police Action
The year was nineteen-forty eight
Was in the month of September,
It was, what the Russians did
That shall always be remembered,
A communist government
To place was the chore,
Now, has come to pass
The heightening clod war,
North Korea, so it seemed
To be just the place,
To strength Russia's way of life
And slap the worlds face,
Southward did their army march,
Parallel 38 they need to cross
So they did so very quickly
With barely any loss,
Mr. Truman, saw it fit,
To speak to the U.N.
We must not let this happen
No! not ever again,
From the air, and from the sea
We must stop the advance,
If communism should win the day
We don't have a chance,
Twenty-nine countries
Answered duties call,
The U.N.'s main objective
Communism, it must fall,
The first year was decisive
We were pushing back,
Was then, that something happened
To our brave attack,
Twenty-nine allied countries
Fighting but just three,
We began to loose our ground
No ! how can this be?
From Pusan to Kimpo
Inchon through to Seoul,
To the 38th parallel
No further will we go,
To this very day, we are standing
On guard at that very line,
They now have nuclear weapons
We must keep that in mind,
We seem to war with countries
With our vigor and our might,
So, we ate American people
Can sleep in peace at night,
We went to Korea
Our objective was to win,
However, it did not happen
Therefore, I guess we'll try again!
May God Bless all the Service Men and Women who served in Korea.......
