We'll
never forget to remember
What
happened to Pearl in December.
Nor
will we ever forget
Those
brave men who sleep there yet!
Airmen
in B-17's, like the Memphis Belle
Crisscrossing
the skies of Germany, raising hell!
Thousands
died from January thru December,
And
they, we'll never forget to remember!
The
Mighty 8th also flew the 24.
From
these 'Flying Coffins', there was blood to spill;
We
shall never forget to remember planes,
Sisters
to the beautiful "Diamond Lil!"
North
Korea raised her ugly head
Leaving
thousands of Americans dead.
Our
freedom, we'll never surrender,
And
we'll never forget to remember!
Now
Vietnam was a crazy war.
Taking
thousands to settle the score.
For
those who marched through gates of splendor,
We'll
never forget to remember!
Now
let me say before I go;
There
was a battle called Cold Harbor,
On
3 June, 1864, when 9,500 Americans
Were
killed, wounded, or missing within the
Span
of an hour, and it burns like an ember.
We
must never forget to remember!
