My forefathers fought in the American revolution Them being patriots was the solution, They served, they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My grandfathers fought in World War 1 They fought so democracy would carry on, They served, they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My father and uncles fought in World War II They fought for the Red, White and Blue, They served, they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My uncle and cousins fought the Korea war They screamed communism no more, They served, they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My brother and cousins fought in Vietnam They did as what they were told by Uncle Sam, They served and they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My family salutes all soldiers living and dead And to all POW'S they bow their head, They served and they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My kin stood against kings, emperors and dictators They weren't cowards, turncoats or traitors, They served and they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. My clan were Federalists, democrats and republicans They were my forefathers and their sons, They served and they fought and they died Patriotism was on their side. Randy L. McClave
