To my infantry brethren
101st Airborne!
The “red white and blue”
“Stars and Stripes”, “Old Glory”
More than just a flag
A symbol of the American story
Flown in times of peace
Or beacon on Battlefield
Virtue follows in her wake
The colors of freedom’s shield
A proud and beautiful cloth
Soldiers diligently salute
Risen at break of day
Standing guard, resolute
And yet at service end
She humbling accepts her callin
To lovingly drape the breast
Of those most honorably fallen
