As the symbolic Dog Tag is made
Every small 'nick' all the same
Military information is inlaid
Soldier's ID, etched with name

A Dog Tag is a vital piece of gear
In times of Peace or off to War
A Soldier's Dog Tag is always near
At home or over in lands afar

Sometimes a Soldier's Dog Tag is lost
Blood-crusted in the dirt it lays
As the sound of Taps clearly plays
At a very dear and very high cost

A piece of a Soldier's main gear
Pride and courage you can see
By his heart it hangs very near
The symbolic Dog Tag keeps us free

each day i watch the young recruits leave lambert and it saddens my heart
for not all return either whole or in part.
