SIX YOUNG MARINES


 


Raleigh Durham airport


Cincinnati bound


Six young Marines


Noble soldiers


Fine men indeed


With honor they ride


Dreams of desert warfare


Swirling through their well groomed heads


Caught between duty and adolescence


Carefree thoughts of home


“Green”


“Lopez”


The silent warrior beside me


I never got his name


Delightful demeanor


Jet lag be damned


Our country to serve


USO hospitality


“Cinderella leave”


So vibrant


Polite


Brimming with adventure


A joy to share their trip


Go in peace my friends


God’s angels shall surround you


HOORAH!
