I lost my life at Peral
I died in Sicily.
I bled on awful Iwo.
And perished at Quang-Tri.
I fell at Okinawa.
And suffered at Coral Sea.
Belleau Wood and Suwon.
Africa and Germany.
My life - I loved to live it.
But gave it honorably.
I only ask, good neighbor.
Will you remember me.
I crossed the flood.
And spilled my blood.
But asked no sympathy.
A pale stone cross.
May mark my loss.
But who will remember me?
1996
