Liberty's Every Son and Daughter .... though my name is lost
among the twilight of the ages, I would ask this solemn question of you
now ... Who Am I? ... I, who felt the peppering muskets' fire, who faced
the raging cannon roar ... who saw the very earth itself run red at
Lexington and
Bunker Hill
... I, who endured the bitter, ironclad wintryness of frozen
Valley Forge
... who gave of my youth and selfless blood so that you might know the
answer to the solemn question posed ... Who Am I? ... a loyal
countryman of yours, I surely am indeed ... a brother and a sister ... a
neighbor and a friend
... I, who have a thousand names you cannot know, ten thousand countless
faces you've never seen before ... yet, when duty, honor, country call,
you know me well by all of the remembered places I have been ....
Fort McHenry,
Gettysburg, San Juan Hill ... I was there unyielding amidst the
thundering shot and shell ... Chateau Thierry, Belleau Wood, The Argonne
... I stood bravely there as well ... Tarawa, Anzio, Normandy, Okinawa
... battlefields where I fought and fell and bled ... Inchon, Con Thien,
Desert Storm ... each sanctified by honor and the sacred roll calls of
our dead ...
Who Am I? ... you know me well by my footmarks left traced in blood for you upon the many beaches of the earth
... you know me by all the burning
desert sands
I strode that still hold my bleached and whitening bones ... you know
me by the mountains I have climbed ... the seven seas I've sailed ...
the strange and
distant lands I've marched ... the skies I've soared for you where no eagle ever dared ... and
you know me best by all the far and lonely places where I lay dying
spread-eagle on my back, calling out in that final fading moment of my
life for Mama ... for she who loved me most with the last breath I drew
...
Who Am I? ... within your
heart of hearts,
you know the answer well ... I am every son and every daughter of this
great land who ever gave their all for you ... I am a youthful name
chiseled for all eternity into endless rows of white marble stones that
mark Liberty's highest sacrifice ... and though twilight must surely
fall and my name be forever lost among the ages, I would have it no
other way ... for interred within this hallowed earth, my bones rest
quiet in peace at last, and there they'll gently molder ... Who Am I?
I have a name
am the American Soldier!
