Will they remeber?

Sent away
A plane ride into the land unknown
A new land
with people that don’t look like you, don’t talk like you , don’t act like you
On a bus into the jungle
Borw wet with sticky sweat
Heart full of fear and ambition

Holding your post through that night
Never knowing whats around the next corner
Anxiety fills the hearts of all around you
Is fighting for my country really worth
Missing my family and risking my life?

The answert is always yes

Seeing a hole in a man
Seeing the piles of dog tags of fallen soldiers
Thinking of the families that will receive a telegram
Saying there loved one is gone

You hear the boom
You see the blood
You made the ultimate sacrifice for the country you love
Will everyone forget?
