As we prepare to celebrate Veteran's Day, we express our appreciation to the patriots who risk their lives to protect our freedom. This poem is dedicated to all Soup members, including Sgt. Bob Hinshaw, who have fought in the service of their countries.

In sandy dunes on my back I lie
Dreaming of warm beaches, blue sky
And a girl named Lorelei
On memories I fly
War seen from on high
I vow to try
Not to cry
As I
Die
