Two Men Made a Difference

One man made a difference
One man raised a call
To unquiet the silent memory of 
when ten men had to fall

One man praised their honor
One man kissed the grave
For so many years his lone 
endeavour, remembrance of 
the sacrifice made by the 
bravest of the brave

Two men met together on a 
normal working day. One man 
told his story which made the 
other respect his name.

Two men made a difference for 
the ten men lost that day.
Two men brought together their 
relatives to their grave

Sealed with official honors, 
respectful tears now flow
The mighty U.S. Airforce fly 
over where their sacrifice 
brought the ten men down.

But two men made this happen. 
Two men changed the flow. 
Two men cared for people that 
never did they know.
