I took the Bristish steel
On Bunker Hill.
I sent grape shot
On Lake Erie.
I fixed bayonets
On Little Round Top.
I felt the knife
At Greasy Grass.
I moved up the hill
Bully Boys all.
I bled red
Feeding poppy fields.
I swatted mosquitoes
On the deck of Yorktown.
I froze white
At the reservoir.
I rode a green horse
Over the lush jungle.
I drove though
The hot sandbox.
I am an American Soldier.
