A SALUTE TO THE 761st TANK BATTALION
How come I never heard of these people?
Why don't we know more about this
sort of thing?
No mention of them in the movies
or in the history books I've read -
Just a void - nothing?
It makes me mad and sad,
so angry,
so aggravated
that by simply visiting a friend's
web page
I am being educated.
Learning is a lifetime thing
that's true;
but these are things I should
already have known.
It makes me blue.
So, here's my Salute to the 761st
the tankers, the soldiers,
who have just now burst
into my living room and made their
presence known,
whom I have met while sitting here
Blessings upon you and yours
Your sacrifices couldn't be more clear.
