Airborne Toast
I have ridden the skies in great machines,
hooked up and jumped with the best of men.
I have fought long and hard,
and when I felt I had no energy left,
I have been fired by the fear
that if I stopped fighting,
my comrades would die.
And when I was in danger, enemy all around,
I heard the thunder from my left and my right,
as my life was defended.
I have never been alone!
I lived, jumped, fought and battled to victory
with the greatest assemblage of men on earth.
Gentlemen, to the BROTHERHOOD of the AIRBORNE.
TO THE AIRBORNE!
