A GI's Gift
Olive drab is basic pain,
endless hikes in drizzling rain.
Blue is Christmas TDY,
raucous joy so I won’t cry.
Red courage stains on desert sands,
youth drained out in cruel lands,
white-knuckled fear, all fossilize
this PFC with gaping eyes.
That’s the gift I give to you,
olive drab, red, white, and blue.
