Thomas J. Lucken

We were soldiers from the land of milk and honey
Called by God to defend freedoms democracy
With all glory to His name, to restore repressed liberty
To dispatch foul evils with boyish faiths bright certainty
Fighting hand-to-hand this great calling to magnify
To the death in elephant grasses of Albany eye-high.
We were soldiers invited by an impoverished nation
To restore their rights of self determination.
Boys fresh as a new born whelp
Come because God, country, Vietnam wanted our help
Bearing unexcelled bravery
In wars foofaraws boys aged too quickly
Men matured by the dying suddenly.

We were war weary soldiers who truly loved one another
Loved our fellows as a brother
Watched the backs of each other
Killed for each other
Lived for each other
Died for each other
Wept for each other!

Prayer
Our father who art in heaven
I will go forth in your name
give us the strength to fight
and help us bear this pain
If it is in your will that we not make it through
please let them know we were your chosen few
and we pray too for all the rest
with your presence and guidance
you make us the best
Now we are ready to carry out the plan
for our commander in chief in a foreign land
We put on out helmets and pick up our guns
We know what's ahead will be no fun
There will be bullets and bombs and death galore
In the name of LIBERTY AND FREEDOM
