U.S. Army Airborne........veteran......

Death From Above


Airborne Ranger raving mad
He's got a tab I wish I had
Black and gold and half moon shape
Airborne Ranger, he's gone ape

Jumpin' through windows, kickin' down walls
Airborne Ranger's havin' a ball
So if there's trouble in the world today
Call on the men in the Black Berets

I will always honour the fallen, I don't need a special day for it. And
I don't care what or who they fell for, because sometimes,
or rather a lot of times, they didn't fall because it was a choice,
sometimes it was the only way to get money for their families.:heart:

I carried the following sonnet by Rupert Brooke in my wallet the whole
time I was in the army.
However I think the words could be adapted to whichever country you
serve.




The Soldier.

IF I should die, think only this of me:
That there's some corner of a foreign field
That is forever England. There shall be
In that rich earth a richer dust concealed;
A dust whom England bore, shaped, made aware,
Gave, once, her flowers to love, her ways to roam,
A body of England's, breathing English air,
Washed by the rivers, blest by the suns of home.
And think, this heart, all evil shed away,
A pulse in the eternal mind, no less
Gives somewhere back the thoughts by England given;
Her sights and sounds; dreams happy as her day;
And laughter, learnt of friends; and gentleness,
In hearts at peace, under an English heaven.
