We learned to play Go Fish and War
Each game of cards did never bore

How proud we rode, our bikes stood up
When chain guard off, pant leg rolled up

Great friends we made, some became pals
What an awesome pool of guys and gals

Some sports we loved, boy! was that true
As a matter of fact, I still do

The Palmer Method was taught in school
And so much more, some actually cool

We loved the Summer, Winter too
With sneakers or boots, we got through

When time was right, we learnt to drive
Don’t ask me how, we did survive

When grown we marched, our pride was true
Our colors firm, red white and blue

Now others march, they take their turn
God Bless them, how they so well learn

They know their job, they do excel
America, support them well

They stand for us where sent to serve
This fact we should all know, observe
