Favorite Quote:
"Life is hard, it's harder if you're stupid" - John Wayne



Nothing was expected
The world was full of peace
The whole world would be affected
Much of the anger in the world would release

The navy saw the future
They knew what was to come
The navy could see it was more than a rumor
They could hear the menacing sound of the Russian drum

The Russians played with the allies
Nobody but the navy saw it coming
The Russians began cutting the UN ties
The Russian tanks, ships, and men humming

The attacks struck hard
The Americans fought back
They fought hard for every yard
Both sides death toll didn’t lack

It was a long bloody struggle
But the UN came up on top
The US had saved the world from a lot of trouble
It was a costly but successful op

Many men will be remembered
Those from both sides
Each commander had many of his men and machines dismembered
On victories back America rides
