"The Ballad of Rodger Young"

No, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry.
No, they've got no use for praises loudly sung,
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.

Shines the name--Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young.

Caught in ambush lay a company of riflemen--
Just grenades against machine guns in the gloom--
Caught in ambush till this one of twenty riflemen
Volunteered, volunteered to meet his doom.

Volunteered, Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting annals of the Infantry
Glows the last deed of Private Rodger Young.

It was he who drew the fire of the enemy
That a company of men might live to fight;
And before the deadly fire of the enemy
Stood the man, stood the man we hail tonight.

On the island of New Georgia in the Solomons,
Stands a simple wooden cross alone to tell
That beneath the silent coral of the Solomons,
Sleeps a man, sleeps a man remembered well.

Sleeps a man, Rodger Young,
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
In the everlasting spirit of the Infantry
Breathes the spirit of Private Rodger Young.

No, they've got no time for glory in the Infantry,
No, they've got no use for praises loudly sung,
But in every soldier's heart in all the Infantry
Shines the name, shines the name of Rodger Young.

Shines the name--Rodger Young!
Fought and died for the men he marched among.
To the everlasting glory of the Infantry
Lives the story of Private Rodger Young.

I realize it's the wrong battlefront and all... but it's still a damn good song that exemplifies the spirit of those fighting men.

not really this is for everybody whose served and died.

we have already had this to include WWI and other songs, waiting for someone to bring in a song about Roark's Drift....

heck go tell the spartans wouldn't be out of place here.

For all who died for freedom. For all who died for their home. For all who died for duty. For all who died for honor. For all who died to save another. For those who lived after loss. For those who built when their was none.

I offer my deepest respect, no matter what battle or what side, if they lost their lives, I give them honor.

I was never there, and I haven't served, but one thing's for sure; I'll never forget. Thank you, and to those who paid the ultimate price, your sacrifice was not in vain.

From the bottom of my heart, I thank you all for your loyalty to your countries. May your hardships and the ideals you fought for never be forgotten.

went to the nearby town to get my diabetes drugs, the nice family restaurant which is run by an older couple, took down their yellow ribbon, and put up a gold star since the last time I visited....

I know this is late, but I would just like to send Happy New year to our soldiers.
