H. K. Uriah, SASS #74619 Posted May 28, 2012 Share Posted May 28, 2012 Rows of White Crosses by Kevin Mickel There are rows of white crosses Lined up in a field somewhere Flying above them is a flag But it's not from around there The mighty fallen rest in peace Dying in a land that was not their own Bringing freedom to the locals Winning them great renown Where liberty exists today You do not have to look very far To find those rows of white crosses Which will ever be the cost of war They came not as conquerors Not to take what was not theirs But to give freedom to the oppressed To them and to their heirs They demanded naught in return But came to do a job that had to be done They asked for only a place For those whose sacrifice the battle was won Ye sons of freedom hold your heads up high For today you have the peace for which your fathers did cry But when the time is right And you pass along your way Tip your hat to those rows of white crosses And to the American Soldiers who sleep beneath them to this day.
