| A Warrior's Family |  |
| Oh we were so young back then,
We joined or were drafted but we did get in.
To serve our Country and learn to be men.
Our girlfriends and spouses we left behind,
We went to fight the wars and to save all of mankind.
Once the war was over and home again we came
There you stood waiting and playing like we were the same.
You loved us and held us and never once gave blame for
The hardships and burdens that we left you to bear.
Now we are older and wiser I hope we are out of the service
But still we try to cope. We joined the Legion and new friends
Have found but for some unknown reason we are still duty bound.
All of this to say there is but one constant to be found.
You still stand there waiting and playing like we are the same
You love us and help us and remind us each day
that unity of family Is the strength of America today …
To our family both at home and in the Legion we owe a debt
we can not repay!
God Bless you all for your support and Love and
Thank you for waiting and playing like we are the same! | By Buz Barbour
