Went To War To Find Love

Warriors are trained to perform a task

Sometimes it's more than we should ask 

There's more than training that powers us

It's love for our brothers that is a big plus

Went to war to find love for their brothers

Maybe more than all the others

Providing security so his platoon could advance

Stormed enemy trench to give them a chance

Killed six snipers plus two more by hand

Sacrificed himself while his platoon made a stand

Lewis Albanese MOH

Close range small arms fire near Cam Lo

In comes a hand grenade ready to blow

Throws his body down to soften the blast

Gave his own life so his brothers will last

James Anderson MOH

During enemy attack, comrade falls in the line of fire

Leaves the safety of his hole, knowing the consequences are dire

Positions himself to protect his friend

Watches the enemy aim knowing it's the end

Oscar Austin MOH

Two men in light aircraft take hit and loose power

Parashoot damaged, can't make the tower

Pilot won't survive but the navigator can

Ditched the plane in water to save the other man

Steven Bennett MOH

Ace Dustoff commander near Chu Lai

Flew into the fog with enemy nearby

Utilized 3 helicopters to evacuate 51

It's hard to comprehend what he had just done

Patrick Bradly MOH

Prisoner of war with the Viet Cong for 3 years

Gave his food and meds to support his peers

Refusing to stray he adhered to the code

Gained respect from the enemy for the valor he showed 

Donald Cook MOH
