In the woods gathers a brave platoon
Their uniforms, a mixture of tan and green
Each face painted in dark camouflage
Hard bodies firmly lean
A soldier’s life is a lonely one
When sent far from home
War brings out the strength in him
And the battle drives him on.
The hills sharply rocky
Rough trenches sank deep
They crossed the terrain
Troops with very sore feet
Deadly bullets started flying
Thick brush was set on fire
These soldiers all sent on a mission
Save our men captured there
The rifles took aim
Grenades the military threw
Fighting with more courage
Than any average man knew
Voices could be heard screaming
Bloody corpses lay slumped down
The skirmish grew silent
As released Americans were sent out
From out in the distance
A white flag was raised
Defeated enemy had surrendered And honored heroes were made
