To Lead, To Excel, To Overcome.
“
“
Fought beside me in life's hell
Stood when others fell
Stood when others fell
Saw pain in rain- in monsoon
Not enough to make a platoon
Some led the way
on a different day
Proud solders we stood
Die for each other we would
Medals won, but we don't wear
not really that we don't care
The 'Welcome Home' we desired
has closed shop & retired
We meet once a year
Each one - I hold dear
The road is long, filled with tears
The sun has set on our fears
We sit, talk about spent lead
Never forgetting the dead
Next year, again, we will meet
This band of brothers -so elite
"Courage is resistance to fear,
mastery of fear
- not absence of fear."
-- Mark Twain
