Remember





Here's a dedication

To the men and women who've served in Vietnam

From our generation to you and your families...

respect is long overdue

Memories of blood, red, white, blue

Orange skies at night southeast Asia knew

You were called to serve and you did it well

for us you've made a round-trip through hell

Wars within wars, within wars

to survive, you made your own laws

Every day and night, to stay alive

you kept your head down and your powder dry

Memories of families

It's God I've known

Take me home

Now you live asking God why

He didn't take you when your brothers all died

Explosions shake the dreams in your head at night in bed

Don't wake him up or you'll end up dead

Try to understand his pain

He still sees blood stains that remain

In his heart and mind, try to numb the pain

People think they understand

Sat watching TV back on quiet land

They spit on you now we'll spit back for you

Our hearts, our voice, gift of our hands

What can they do for you?

And those who served and died,

we pay respect to the families who still cry

Your kids are now full grown

With the love and pride you should have known

Back when your country brought you home

Still now you fight the tears and face your fears each day

But the horrors of fact won't go away

For 2300 MIA's, or POW's to this day

We remember and pray for you...
