For The Transporters

Moms View Message Board: The Fox Hole (War-Related Discussion): Sending In Reinforcements (Showing Support & Comfort, Lifting Spirits): For The Transporters
By Bea on Saturday, March 29, 2003 - 11:24 am:

FIRST IN / LAST BACK

The flags were all faded,
Seemed baked by the sun.
The crowds had gone home.
The speeches were done.

There were such cheers and parties
For the homecoming TAC,
But the welcomes were muffled
When the last arrived back.

They had shipped the troops over,
Helped them all to return,
But they didn't make headlines.
So they were to learn

If you fly home in fighters
The world knows your name.
Sailing home on a battleship
Earns you the same.

When you get them there safely,
And carry supplies,
You're the one keeps them moving,
But you don't advertise.

Though we may not be many,
Our welcome to you
Is heartfelt and joyful
And all the more true

Than banners and cameras,
And speeches so loud.
Just welcome home darlings.
You've made us so proud.
