Wonder if they really knew
How these new soldiers would respond
To the war in Vietnam.
She couldn't have too much intellect
Leaving home at a time of war.
Hoping to make a difference
In the attitude of some people she'd met.
But she remembered her favorite 
four females examples, Her grandmother
Louisa Francis Jane Victoria Cummings;
Mother, Evelyn Nesbitt Mason Davis 
Sojourner Truth and Harriet Tubman.
It was an easy decision to make.  They lead
By example, Praised the Lord and stayed strong.
By the way,  "That Girl" is Marching up to Zion.
