He was one of thousands,
      Who went overseas.
      To fight for a freedom.
      Yes for you and me.


      His country had called him,
      To do his very best.
      He felt in his heart,
      It was his ultimate test.


      His mother did weep,
      As he left on the train.
      Her feelings were deep,
      Her heart full of pain


      The boy was her child,
      To others a man.
      Yes, he heard the calling,
      Of dear old Uncle Sam.


      It was cold and snowy,
      Warm clothes they did not have.
      Not enough amunition,
      Yes, the fight was bad.


      He wrote to a friend,
      That many buddies had died.
      Don't believe what you read,
      For the newspapers lie.


      Then one cold dreary day,
      There was a knock on mom's door.
      With a telegram that read,
      Mom your son is no more.

      He gave the ultimate in Korea.
