Proudly we served
Though little understood, we held our ground
We fought and died and cried and sometimes laughed
But, proudly we served
Proudly we served
Like so many others who have gone before us
We fought for our country, for ourselves, for each other
We fought for you ... but, proudly we served
Proudly we served
We paid the awful price that war demands
And only ask that you, our fellow Americans, remember our task
For proudly we served
Proudly we served along with our friends
Those who hallowed the battle grounds of Vietnam
Our country chose us to serve so that you who did not go
Who stayed at home would know, would say, proudly they served
