Remember
(By Gnr. O’C., 2/10/457.) Beside the guns we take our post, Always ready to defend our coast. For if the Japs come in a band, i We’ll wipe them off-our lovely land. I Men take care of living rights, . And praise the Lord for shining [ lights, : Give all you can to Liberty Loan, And if it hurts don’t even moan.' We owe a debt to the boys far away, So keep a smile and always be gay,. , ■ When they . return, how proud we will I be, To see those dear faces God kept to me. They sweat and sway and curse at the flies, And damn the sand that burns in their eyes, Until they reach Cairo with aching feet, Then rest in the shade, out of the heat. With fire in their veins and a power.of their own, 1 They ’ll go through hell for the loved I ones at home, 1 ! So do all you can for those in need, And don’t let a weed grow around your seed.
