Interlude - Col W.P. Burn, CWS - II Corps - Walt's Daughter - 01-05-2010 Just found this poem in a book, which was lent to me by a friend:
INTERLUDE
You might have been a dogface Or drove a tank or truck
But you did your job and faced it --- And if you're still here, that's luck.
The men who strung the wires Or who loaded deadly freight,
Weren't issued many medals, but--- There's few who didn't rate.
And don't forget the nurses Who have shared our risk and fare,
Nor the medics and the stretcher teams Who gave our wounded care;
The engineers who waded Into fields of mines and traps;
And the men who cooked the chow Or pecked the keys or drew the maps.
There's lots of jobs that must be done To win this kind of war,
And Victory's due to Every man--- And woman---in the Corps!
