"The Services" (US Army)


(US Army)

Understanding feet on the ground
burrowing from line to line often
digging fox holes or trenches
muddy dirty and wet for days
seeking the higher grounds
mindful of snipers in trees
jungles, deserts, high forests
rivers, swamps, long shores
comradeships and loneliness
seeking the enemy always
crossing minefields cross-wired
without glory only guts and blood
pushing ahead as commanded!
