Resplendent on the deep, deep blue Of the full-dress uniform, Are little ribbons aligned in rows. To regs they must conform. He always wears that uniform When ere he comes to town. Take's more, I think, than simple pride To be the man he's found. Old warriors notice the ribbon count, And many a friendly guy Would buy a round and shake his hand To a whispered, "Semper Fi.“ Do you recognize those ribbons: The ones upon that chest? To know them well does surely tell How this country has been blessed. On the top row, the Silver Star. For gallantry it stands: Bravery under hostile fire On distant, burning sands. This purple one is the Purple Heart. Three times it was received. In battles where his brothers died He survived, but still he grieved. After today they'll fade away; Be displayed never more. After this eulogy They'll close the casket door. Proud to serve my country, Is etched into his stone. God needed one more hero, This Marine is headed home.
