You shed your blood at Lexington, Shed your blood at Concord to You shed your blood at Bunker Hill, You shed your blood for freedom new. You shed your blood in Chalputapec Shed your blood in Tripoli You shed your blood at the Alamo You shed your blood to liberatet our seas. You shed your blood at Bull Run Shed your brother's to. You shed your blood at Antietam You shed your blood for what's so dear to you You shed your blood in the Marne shed your blood at Belleau Wood you shed your blood for Europe's cause your shed blood is the Old World's food You shed your blood at Pearl Harbor shed your blood at Iwo Jima You shed your blood at Midway You shed your blood at Okinowa You shed your blood at Chosin Resovoir Shed your blood to stop the attrition You shed your blood on Korea's soil You shed your blood to stop communism You shed your blood in a Jungle shed your blood in that God forsaken place You shed your blood in Vietnam You shed your blood to get spat in the face. You shed your blood in Lebanon Shed your blood in Iraq You shed your blood in the desert You shed your blood so we wouldn't lack. You shed your blood so Ole Glory could fly shed your blood for our forefathers You shed your blood as freedom's song You shed your blood for our future sons and daughters. Your shed blood is our rememberance It is now on our hands For your shed blood should never be forgotten It is what bought us this land. |

Semper Fi! Thanks for doing what I never did. I'll show this one to my dad who did his time at "The Stumps" (29 Palms). Crazy thing is, he was still a Canadian when he was in the corps... and he had top-secret clearance to boot. Nice bit of work here. Thanks for sharing. |

thank you all for your kind words. I took a little liberty and used mostly Marine Corp famous battles, but forgive I am a Little biased. Can you blame me. Patriotism is what is all about during this weekend. I just hope our future generations will take up the cross and continue to make this nation as great as it was, is, and even greater than it will be. We must teach them all about where we come from. It is a shame that all that the men who fought in Vietnam, all that they went through, had to come home to be spat in the face by cowards who wouldn't pick up a rifle to defend this glorious country. To all of you that fought in that terrible conflict, I salute you. This poem honors you the most. Thank you. Jfreak |
