The Graybeards - Korean War Veterans Association

KOREAN WAR REMEMBERED
They answered when they heard the call
and sailed off to that foreign shore;
They stayed and served in spite of all
the boredom, loneliness and gore.
They sailed home indecisively –
for they had neither won or lost –
the fight to keep Korea free –
which added to that baleful cost.
No grand parade invited them
to come rejoin their native land;
They filtered back by train or whim
to live the lives that they had planned.
Though over forty years had passed,
and “conflict” vets were still around;
The valor and resolve they cast
laid unremarked on native ground.
They’d answered when they heard the call
to serve their country over there;
They did their best in spite of all,
now America has shown them that we care.
