What is it that they do? They are like shadows in the night or vapor in the air so seldom seen and rarely heard but rest assured, they're there They come not from a single place they come from far and wide the open plains, the city streets the rural countryside They are the farmer's little boy, the girl who lived next door the uncle of a high school friend who gave his life at war They are the barber's youngest child who heard his country's call or friends with whom we laughed and sipped whose names are on "THE WALL" And what they do, you needn't ask for none will ever tell in silence based on "need to know" they proudly serve so well They're much the same as all before who vanquished freedom's foe they are the ones who fuel the fire which keeps THE TORCH aglow.
