We’re just resting here you see To see if our blood shed kept you free A patriot’s dream for liberty. We didn’t wish to die, When we heard that clarion cry, A call to arms set us on this course. And we’d do’er again without remorse. For we’d rather be men than shirk When our country needs us to do dirty work For we know that freedom is not free And our children must grow tall in liberty We can see the purple mountain majesty, From our wall, See huddling masses yearning to be free, From our wall. We see a nation built on honesty, Fought for with our blood of integrity. We see great courage maintained in modesty From our place here on the wall Standing so proud and so tall. We are the ones our country called To trample tyranny beloved freedom galled. We bore in might Righteous spirit of right. We fought evil in Vietnam devastating. Armed with fire and lightning, Forces of communism dissipating, Vietcong bastions wherein wrath lay stored Fell to America's terrible swift sword. American soldiers prayed goodness Of justice would at longlast prevail Common freedoms to Vietnamese avail. But it was not to be... Now as soldiers of the wall Forever stand we, Symbols of courageous struggle for liberty, Of the best of us valiantly fallen Blest youth forever stolen. We hope our sacrifice wasn’t in vain For we gave our lives in suffering pain. Where heroes proved More than life, their country loved. Endowed with great courage and strength, We went to any length, Fighting in Nam’s gore and mud To inspire young men’s red blood To crown our nation with noble brotherhood. We fought to make a difference To stand in might, for right's defense. We watched our buddies die, Followed them in death by and by Standing brave, and standing tall. Finding gloried honor on this granite wall. Oh we’re soldiers of the wall, We’ve fought and died for one and all. We’re just resting here you see To see if our blood shed kept you free A patriot’s dream for liberty. We heard the distant sound of the gun To Vietnam did run. We did not look behind As valorous courage we seemed to find. So do not shed for us faint tears See our dream for country, See beyond the years As we bled in the jungles of hell We knew we were doing our duties well. For we answered our country’s call, 'Cause someone had to do it. We soldiers fighting in Nam's misty pall, Gave a gift to our beloved...our all. Oh we’re soldiers of the wall, We’ve fought and died for one and all. We’re just resting here you see To see if our blood shed kept you free A patriot’s dream for liberty. It’s lonely and so cold here. I hope people never forget us here, In this black marbled granite bier. For the sign of a man, Is the amount of respect he gives For fathers and brothers who gave all for them Who now on that lonely wall lives. Was our sacrifice worth it, can you see Do you honor our proud victory Fought and won for you and me... Though sad we be for our sainted mothers, Do not cry for me my brothers But give to my death meaning beyond my moldering grave greening. We pray with all power in our hearts For men guiding, Standing safeguard protecting Our great nation, Brave men standing between loved ones And war’s unholy devastation. Always remember with love and respect Those who strains of freedom reflect From that hallowed wall, Revered now by us all. Remember those living in darkning shadow Who with courage and honor jousted With freedom’s malignant foe. Oh we’re soldiers of the wall, We’ve fought and died for one and all. We’re just resting here you see To see if our blood shed kept you free A patriot’s dream for liberty.From the lens of a combat infantryman!
